@greeneyegal92 someone took your medal away from you!!!!
Sorry Goshen tough break!! 🙁 But that's alot of waitlists not rejections so you'll definitely get pulled off somewhere!! Just keep the faith and you'll be golden 🙂
YEP BECAUSE YOUVE GOTTEN A MAYBE AND YOU COULD TECHNICALLY BE CALLED OFF AT ANY TIME BUT YOU DONT KNOW IF YOU WILL BE AND YOU DONT KNOW WHEN YOU WOULD BE.I'm starting to feel like waiting to hear back as an alternate is worse than waiting to hear back after applications are submitted. The apprehension...
I know, that’s the common theme here. But how often would I get the chance to live in another country? I also may be eligible for U.K. resident tuition if I get my citizenship (my mom is a U.K. citizen). After graduating from RVC and taking the NAVLE I’d be certified to practice in the U.K., the rest of Europe, North America, and Australia. It’s hard to put a price tag on the experience and life changing opportunities that will open up for me from living abroad.
I know for Ireland you have to have either lived in the EU 3 out of the last 5 years, gone to 5 years of primary or secondary school in the EU AND have not gone to any sort of college yet, or you’re under 23 and your parents have lived in the EU for 3 if the past 5 years to get EU tuition for UCDublin so definitely actually contact the school and see if you are actually eligible if you get your citizenship because I know I’m not eligible for Dublin even though I’m a citizen.
You're definitely lucky to have that opportunity. I would go to the Caribbean or Australia if it weren't for the fact that I have an elderly dog 🙁
Oh really? That’s interesting that you just have to be a citizen. I would’ve thought you would have had to live there for a certain amount of time as a citizen and be paying taxes and stuff. That’s cool if you actually ARE able to get that, but make sure you get it in writing from the school if you haven’t already just so that you can be like “no no you told me this was all I needed to do”
You’re right, I’ll make sure I get it documented!
It definitely is, I'm more anxious now than I was before and my friends that got in keep saying "well it's just waiting game you can't do anything about it now so don't stress". I'm like you so don't understandI'm starting to feel like waiting to hear back as an alternate is worse than waiting to hear back after applications are submitted. The apprehension...
Ha ha ha
My thoughts exactly. I'm down to having only 1 freak out day a week, so at least that's something!
I meeeean, I'm leaning towards Edinburgh so I hear ya. But that is (crazily) my cheapest school. I asked about UK tuition and the answer is probably no for me. I am an EU citizen (French) but because I've been living outside of Europe for the two years preceding vet school I have to pay US tuition. The specialization path looks really intriguing.
I know at SGU the students all fly with their dogs in the cabin. Like, flights going to/leaving Grenada full of dogs. 😍
Waitlisted OOS at Cornell, UF, UGA, and WSU
Cookie can't be vaccinated for health reasons so can't travel 🙁
autoimmune dz?
Is Cookie that doggo in your picture because I like that doggo...
Yes she has been in remission from IMHA for the past 5 years (an awful disease if you haven't heard of it)
That is Cookie! 😀 She was a spry 13 year old pup in that pic (15 now)
Yeah I have is she on corticosteroids, azo or myco? It sure is a crap dz
She was on prednisone and atopica (cyclosporine) for a year after diagnosis but not on anything anymore.
"Just don't stress..." Okay, cool, cool, cool....*obsessively thinks about it* I'm not stressing, you're stressing...
I'm almost certain you're going to get off that waitlist for UWM! congrats!
Obsessively thinking about it is so accurate I feel like my friends and family are going to get sick of me obsessing soon lol
Wish I did, but no. They will let you know ranking after April 16th, I think.
So just a heads up, Iowa lists their tuition by semester so it is ~$24,000 times two which makes ~$48,000 per year while Kansas is ~$54,000 a year. $6,000 a year is nothing to sneeze at but it isn't as huge of a difference as it seems at first glance.
Considering that’s at least $18,000 less for just the first three years I’d say that’s pretty significant. But like I said, I’d be happy with any! Iowa is at least cheaper than my in state (Tufts) but I don’t want to go there anyways.
It was rough getting waitlisted at first, but then I realized what my position was. Thank you for your support!!🙂
Their site says $24,533 for the 1st through 3rd years and $10,919 for 4th years. Here's a link to what I'm seeing for their 2017 tuition rates.
(I think 4th year is ~19.6k per semester on that chart for OOS, not ~11k. But there is also summer semester you’d have to pay I think?)
Yea, my acceptance letter straight up says that 2018 entrance tuition is going to be 52k a year.
Can you post a link to that page please?
It won't let me post a link (haven't been active enough on here), but if you google AVMA Vet school tuition costs and click the link that brings you to the AVMA website it should bring you straight there!
Probably because students abuse the system and get their dogs certified as ESA dogs when they really aren't
Don’t get me started either on people claiming an animal is an esa just to fly with itProbably because students abuse the system and get their dogs certified as ESA dogs when they really aren't
(it's not just SGU, it was a huge problem at Ross too...don't get me started lol)
I believe the Ross student body made a collective decision to stop doing it. But SGU still does. I'm not for abusing the system in general. But a flight full of vet students and dogs? I can't help but love it.Probably because students abuse the system and get their dogs certified as ESA dogs when they really aren't
(it's not just SGU, it was a huge problem at Ross too...don't get me started lol)
IS or OOS?Waitlisted at Texas A&M (#15)

I hope you get called!! If not, beef up your application so next year they CANT say no! That’s what I’ve been doing in case I don’t get in this year
and YES! thats what I am doing!
