OOS waitlisted (no rank) for LIU
Accepted to SGU and Ross.
I dont know if the waitlist for LIU will move at all before April 15th, which makes me contemplate putting down a deposit..

is anybody else mentally struggling through this whole process? this was my first cycle and i had really high hopes i'd get in, i truly believed i had a very competitive application... yet i've received 4 rejections and 1 waitlist. it's completely shattered me and my anxiety has skyrocketed. i feel like all the sacrifices i've made and my hard work has all been for nothing, or that in the end i never tried hard enough like those who have gotten accepted. idk who to talk to about this. i'm still waiting on three more schools but i've lost all hope i had left. it's been hard and i'm beginning to question my place in all this.

I feel you here! I was super confident going in, and I ended up with 3 rejections and a waitlist. It made me feel awful when people would tell me "There's no doubt you'll get in!," even though I know they were just trying to be nice--it just fueled my imposter syndrome. Last year, the application pool increased by 19%-so this is not a product of you not trying enough, or that your work was all for nothing; it is just SO MUCH more competitive now than ever. Look on the brightside: if we don't get in this year, its just another year of saving money to have a better time once we are in vet school (because if you want to be a vet, you WILL be a vet, it might just take another year or so). 🙂

I am in the exact same boat...3 rejects and OOS waitlist. Everyone was super confident I'd get in...I have been feeing low and down on myself, because of such slim chances this year. It does make a person feel like their work wasn't good enough

Thank you! I’ve been going between SDN and the APVMA Facebook page trying to get an estimate of how many spots I might’ve moved. I know not everyone uses these online forums and that it’s still pretty early, but it’s not looking good. 🙁

I feel you! But it fluctuates year to year and in the forum alone I've seen like 3 or so people saying they're not accepting their seats. I have hope there will be some intense shuffling after april15th
 
Waitlisted at Iowa, Mississippi, and Tufts. Accepted at SGU but really hoping to stay state side
 
Accepted at Iowa & SGU, most likely going to Iowa as of right now but waitlisted at Tufts & UW (#37), not sure what my chances are especially for Tufts to get pulled
 
OOS alternate for UGA (no ranking), #3 OOS alternate for Minnesota, and #34 waitlist for UC Davis. Anyone have any info on the waitlist situation for Georgia? I have already declined my Minnesota seat because I was accepted to Tufts and I would rather go there, but I would also rather go to UGA or Davis than Tufts because they're way cheaper for me.
 
Hey everyone. I just declined seats at Iowa State, Ohio State, and Washington State. I’ll also be taking my name off the Purdue waitlist. I know others who are going to be taking their names off as well. Hopefully this movement helps everyone out! I was waitlisted last year, it’s definitely disheartening. But they move a lot and hopefully every seat declined gives people a shot at their dream school. Good luck everybody!
 
OOS alternate for UGA! I have a couple acceptances so I'll be putting a deposit down at one of them, but still holding out hope for Georgia after April 15th! Good luck to us all

do you think you'll drop your alternate spot for Minnesota ?

Hi! May I ask if you are declining your acceptance at Penn, if you are pulled off somewhere else? Penn is my top school and I’m on the waitlist! If you are uncomfortable with sharing no worries at all!

Hi!! Yes, I'm very close to making a decision, currently leaning towards committing to RVC actually.. I know so many are waiting to be pulled from lists so I'm trying to make the decision ASAP but it's such a big one to make. Going to visit London first week in April so I will know then and will make my decision quickly 🙂 hoping the best for you!!

Thank you so much!! That’s so awesome! Congrats on getting accepted!! I wish the best of luck for you!!
 
Accepted to Illinois OOS, waitlisted Mizzou IS. for those accepted elsewhere and waitlisted at your top choice, how are you going about the process such as with house hunting? I’d like to find a house quickly so it’s settled, but with the slight chance of me getting pulled, I don’t want to have to drop my lease and leave any roommates in a bad spot.

I don't know what else there is to do but wait. If I don't get pulled off the waitlist by mid May (or before if they email saying the class is full), I'll find a place and sign a lease. I don't want to lose a deposit and deal with a lease too! I've been looking at places but won't sign until then.

Hi! I was waitlisted at UF (OOS)🙁; does anyone know how fast this waitlist moves/what my chances are? Thanks!
Click to expand...
Hey I was also waitlisted for UF (IS). Stinks they don’t share ranking but I hope we are able to come through. I was waitlisted for an interview at UF this cycle too so I am double wammy waitlisted lol I have heard OOS is easier to come off because most people will accept their IS school but I have no idea how true that is. Best of luck!
 
Has anyone heard from Mississippi? I'm on the waitlist and usually they make a few calls in March.
This wait is killing me but we are so close to April!

I haven't heard anything or seen anyone saying they got a call, which as you said there has been some in March in previous years. I'm wondering if they haven't started on the waitlist, if not very many people have declined their seats yet, or they've made calls but we just haven't heard about it.

I'm curious to see if we'll get an update in early April on which quartile they are in like they said we would and if so when we'd get that email. It really stresses me out not having any idea about this stuff 🙁
