OOS rejection. This is my fourth one this cycle and this one really sucks since I was kinda hopeful about this school and was really proud of my essays this time. Ugh. Congrats to everyone that received an interview and best of luck to you all ❤️

Remember resiliency. It hurts but, if you want to become a veterinarian you will do everything it takes. May you pull through strong and know you did your best.

OOS rejection. Anyone waitlisted?

OOS rejected. Second time applying. Applied 2 years ago with little vet hours and a okay recommendation for a vet. And was high on the waitlist. Now have thousands of hours and a great vet recommendation letter and got rejected. Suck because I worked really hard to make my application better

I understand how you feel. This was my top choice.

Does anyone have plans after being rejected? I am currently working as a veterinary assistant. I will use this time to focus on hobbies and other certifications I have always wanted.
 
Don’t lose sight of the end goal! One of the vets I currently work for didn’t go to vet school until she was 40. She was denied her first cycle and got in on her second and she doesn’t regret it!!
 
Congrats to everyone who got an invite!
OOS rejection. This was my top choice and third time applying. I even had an incredible review last cycle. She said my application was perfect and just to keep applying. I’m devastated. This was the last time for me. I can’t keep doing this to myself.I’ve spent three years and thousands of dollars applying, repeating courses, developing my app and so on. It’s a numbers game and it’s sickening that we all have to play it. Or maybe it plays us? This was my third rejection this cycle. Four left.

That’s insane to say your application was perfect. Like what does it come down to? Getting into vet school is harder then I expected. Best wishes to you.

THIS.

Multi-time applicant here, I graduate in May. I would not be where I am today without resiliency (and a lot of other things). Believe me I know rejection hurts. I almost didn't apply one more time, but my mom reminded me of the number I set for myself at the beginning and I had one more year. I made myself push through, and now I'm where I once thought I'd never be.

Hang in there everyone, and please feel free to reach out with any questions! Sending lots of love and support ❤️

This might not help anyone but after my rejection last year I did do a file review with VM. She had told me that my application was very strong, essays and recommendations were great, and that I didn’t have a bad GPA/science GPA, they just had a very very competitive pool of applicants, so I would bet a lot of money that it’s a similar case this year (my rejection email said over 1700 applicants! Those odds are crazy) so as hard as it is, chin up everyone. Vet school applications are hell, so anyone getting interviews should be insanely proud of themselves (happy dance time!) — But to all of us rejected, this doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be a doctor. I’m in the same boat, a couple rejections in and feeling defeated, but just know that all you need is one yes, and if you haven’t gotten it yet it’s still out there! If anyone needs to talk or vent or anything, feel free to message me!

OOS interview invite! Would any current students/students who have interviewed with the school before give some insight on what their process is like? Do they ask more traditional questions or scenario-based?

When I toured there the student I walked around with said she helps with admissions. She obviously couldn’t say much, but told me that when discussing interview format they were leaning toward more scenario based questions for this year.
