It took a long while for my forms to get confirmed, but they were listed as received as soon as I had access to my application summary.

Yeah, so we will either have a really good holiday season, or we won't.
Can look nice but I certainly wouldn't worry about it being a deal breaker. I had no research listed on my VMCAS and got into VMR; and unless they've changed their procedure, once you get an interview then that's all they consider when making final admissions offers.Ugh so true. This is my IS and my top choice... I was feeling really awful about everything but then I got invited to interview at Mizzou so that boosted me up a little! Hopefully if Mizzou is willing to take a look at me, so will VMR!! I am a little worried since I had zero hours of research when I applied, and I have heard they look for that...
I don't think anyone will hear until December At least that was the impression that I got. This waiting sucks!Any OOSers hear anything yet?
I know I heard last year the first week of January. Interviews were held a few weeks later.
how do u know that the interview dates are january 18th and 19th? i didn't see that anywhere on the website
Does anyone know if you get to choose which date you are interviewed? I know the dates are Jan 18th and 19th. I was just offered an interview at Kansas State on Jan 19th at 8AM. But VMRCMC is my in-state school, so it is probably my first choice. Kansas State said that they offer rescheduling of interviews only in cases of extreme emergency. If I am offered an interview for Saturday at VMRCVM, then I can probably still do both that weekend... What do you guys think?
Gotta love unpredictable plane prices!Plane ticket prices took a dive today... 265/person round trip from Montana. (for thurs-sunday of interview weekend)
Really wondering if I should spring for them now just in case they go back up to 500 by the time I hear back... Big waste of money if I don't get an interview, but the same amount lost if they go back up and I wait and do get an interview... GAH.
Hey all-good luck on your wait to hear about interviews. I also wanted to offer my place to crash for anyone needing it interview weekend. We have a spare room as well and I won't be in classes yet, so could get you to and from the interview. Plus I have 4 wheel drive- history states that the weather in Blacksburg will be terrible interview weekend.
I don't know for sure, but it might be too late for this app cycle to try and update anything. Transcript deadlines have passed and the adcoms have probably already reviewed 1/2 the apps or more. I mean, interview invites are going out this month. If you call and try to add stuff now, IMO, it will just be annoying and won't matter anyway.Hi Everyone,
I am new to this website and had a question. I figured this was the best thread to post to since I am most interested in being accepted to VTech....
I think I screwed up my application a bit! I know this is late in the game but that is why I am posting. I recently had the revelation that I had graduate work that I never included in my VMCAS application. Yeha, I know, how do you forget that? But it was in a COMPLETELY different field (outdoor education), and I did not think the material was applicable at the time. Now, after compulsively reviewing my stats, my last 45 credit GPA is by FAR the lowest of the three (3.2) and if I included my graduate courses it would raise my last 45 to a 3.4. My question is, is this something I should bother VT about or should I just accept it and move on? I can't decide, on one hand I don't want to be discredited on one number that I could potentially change and on the other I don't want to portray myself as unobservant or procrastinating in posting these grades in any way. I honestly just didn't think they applied and neglected to report them out of sheer indifference. I appreciate any feedback you all have! Has anyone else chewed off all their fingernails waiting to hear for interviews? If you are interested in my other stats they are posted below:
BS Bio Northeastern University 2009 (In-State VA)
QGPA- 3.6
Science GPA- 3.4
GRE- Verbal: 157, Quantitative: 159, Writing: 5.5
1 year full time vet. tech. (currently employed), 1 year full time paid employee at New England Aquarium (Husbandry- Penguins), dog walking jobs, pet ownership etc etc.
