The school I am wait listed at says if we do get called off the list, we have 48 hrs to give them an answer.

If I got called, I'd accept right then and there. I wouldn't need 48 seconds!
Both. In state for Illinois, out of state for Mizzou
That's amazing ironvet, congrats!!!
thank you cant wait to hear about your acceptance!
thank you!
Good luck, guys! The waitlist is no fun, so I hope you guys are able to make it off!
Emailed UGA and they told me they wouldn't have the list ranked til Monday
To everyone who's gotten called off the waitlist, add yourself to the waitlist survivors forum once the hype dies down a bit 😉

I would think so. You'd think they'd have IS alternates for a reason...
Isn't LSU one of those schools that has a varying number of seats for OOS and IS? If they didn't meet the minimum they promised, I would definitely call and ask about that. If they did meet the minimum, I wouldn't call, it was probably a budget thing since I think you've mentioned that Louisiana is having budget issues.
There's a seating chart in the portal that shows you how many seats get confirmed. On decision day it showed 65 IS, 15 OOS, and 9 Arkansas contracts. I was listed as a Louisiana alternate. It said explicitly I could not take an AR or OOS spot. Today it shows 64 out of 64 IS and 15 out of 16 OOS.
????
Well, I guess I'm just confused because for about a week after interviews it showed 55-65 IS and 25-15 OOS. One would think when they changed it to 15 and 65 that that was the amount of seats they decided on. If not, why were there alternates in the first place?
I guess the way I read that is that the want at least 55 IS and at least 15 OOS, so alternates are for making sure they don't dip below those numbers. I think it would definitely be fair to call and ask why 65 IS seats are not being given since it appeared that was the portal was indicating.
I mean but it said in my FAQ that they get the majority of offers accepted before April 15th. I just don't think they thought they would dip below 55, especially for IS. Maybe they just didn't have enough OOS to interview so they did have to adjust the estimates. I still think it could be a little more transparent.
Yeah, that's really low in the alternate just already
I'm on the IS wait list for UTK. I'm not sure where I am on the list, but I'm realistic that IS wait lists normally don't move as quickly as OOS.
Does anyone know if you don't get off the wait list, and apply again, do the schools tak the fact you were an alternate into consideration while choosing the next class. I just have to think that if you get so close as to get an IS wait list spot, that they would see your perseverance in the next Applicatiob cycle and take that into consideration.
Maybe that's just hopeful thinking!

They're probably getting a bunch of these, so no need to write them an essay. Just keep it simple.
ex:
Hello ________,
I would like to request my rank on the waitlist.
Thank you for your time,
Your Name
I emailed my IS school and they were happy to send me my position on the wait list. Although, I was a bit sad to see how far down I was, at least I have a practical idea of my chances. My IS school also told us they will update the list starting next week by taking out those who no longer wish to be wait listed. We are to email them again for an updated number.

I would suggest if you are on the waitlist and don't get off to mention it in your personal statement next application cycle. My personal statement this year was chalk full about how I got waitlisted and accepted at western and then I got waitlisted at uga, rather than straight rejected like every other year.
Depends on the school. I've really only heard of Purdue doing this.
Ugh I got an unknown phone call yesterday but no message. Fingers crossed! The wait list is killing me.
I received a call on Friday that I have been accepted IS at U of M
I was number 10 on the list, was definitely not expecting to hear from them the day of the deadline! I am curious how far the IS list has moved.
I turned down my OOS position at ISU, so this will help move that list along!

O.M.G. I am NUMBER 4 on the alternate list. NUMBER 4! I am about to die. I absolutely cannot believe it. I have never been so hopeful. aaahhhhh, please please please work out!!!
Fingers and toes crossed. That's very exciting!

I assume that may be at least partly due to the cost of tuition...? There's a few vet schools that are comparable or even cheaper OOS than UMN IS.
Congrats to everyone getting off the waitlists! To those who haven't heard yet... don't lose hope!

I've read it moves a few seats here and there this year based on what I've read in the threads, but nothing offical.
Well, I take that back. I just got the official VMRCVM email saying they've seated the entire 2020 class.
Doesn't mean that people won't change their minds over the summer, but who knows what that level of movement is like?
