Washington State University c/o 2024

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Do you guys mind me asking if you’re IS or OOS? And if IS, are you Washington residents or part of WIMU?
Congratulations on the good news, best of luck in those interviews!
 
Does anyone know if OOS also heard today or if we hear at a later date?? Thank you 🙂)

OOS heard last year between Dec 3rd and 28th for interview/deny. Rejections were by snail mail so they were a bit late as final decisions were made by the 19th, I think.

Does anyone know if all rejection letters from WSU are sent out via snail mail? I'm in-state and have still yet to receive a interview invite so I'm wondering if I should assume I've been rejected.
Don't worry, they don't send all the interview invites on one day. Usually people get an email and letter if they're invited to interview. I think they also do that if you aren't offered an interview, though I'm not certain.

Rejections are sent via snail mail 🙁 but I think in the past there have been multiple waves of invites sent out? I could be wrong but I wouldn't lose hope yet!
 
Was it an email or call? please post your stats!!! Huge congratulations to you! That is so exciting! 🙂
 
That's amazing y'all! Get it!! Do they do early acceptance for WICHE only?
 
Congrats to all of my fellow WICHE-ers! @jenjen2020 @futuretigervet @TwinkieChi @mammalade hope we get to be classmates! Good luck to those interviewing!

Utah resident here, and they must be staying late tonight. Just got an interview invite for the Logan campus on January 14th!! Happy dance!! :hardy:

The wait shouldn't be much longer! You got this!

Trying to not give up hope, but I also want to be practical. Utah only had 20 in state slots so do you think they sent out all their invites yesterday afternoon? Or is there still hope.... any insight @MixedAnimals77 ?? Or would it be safe to say if I dont receive anything by the end of next week then it probably means I'm waiting on the dreaded snail mail?

Would they look at you as WICHE or non-sponsored as well?
 
Unfortunately as a Utah resident, your application is only for the Logan campus.

Ya I assumed so, just not sure if they have sent out all of their invites to Utah applicants or if there is still a chance.
 
Does anyone know if WSU has any rules about deferring acceptance to their veterinary school. I am currently in the U.S. Army Reserves and there is always a chance to get sent somewhere. Just curious.

I would email to ask! Very friendly staff 🙂

I wouldn't give up any hope quite yet! :happy: Their invite showed up far later than I would have expected for a Friday night. It's entirely possible they stayed late to get a few extras out and plan on picking back up on Monday. For what it's worth, both LG012 and I are scheduled for the 14th. That leaves the entire 15th still open for invites as far as we know!!

There's always a chance until you're explicitly told otherwise, and two random data points on an internet forum are irrelevant to your application. If it helps to ease your worries at all, for the past three years WSU has interviewed anywhere between 56-71% of all Utah applicants. That's better odds than flipping a coin!

As mentioned above, they are very nice and helpful if you do send off an email or two with questions. 🙂

Sorry I don't know anything about Utah or Montana side of things 🙁 Hoping you hear good news soon.

Definitely ask! One of my classmates is in army reserves. He makes it work. It's difficult sometimes for him, but check into it!
 
Just got my interview packet in the mail! It got sent to my mom in western WA but I'm in the east coast for school so I made her take pics and send me it :happy: hoping I'm not the only IS struggling to fly back to WA for interviews heheh

Is everyone who is receiving invites, IS or WICHE?? Because I’m OOS and haven’t heard anything so I’m assuming it’s later for us??

I believe they send out WICHE acceptances first (w/o an interview), then IS interview invites, then OOS interview invites!
 
WICHE applicants check your snail mail. I just received a non-resident interview offer. If my state decides to sponsor me as a WICHE student then I will automatically be accepted, if not then I have the opportunity to interview for a non-resident applicant position.
 
Got the dreaded 'we regret to inform you' letter today. I knew my chances weren't great going in, but it still is a pretty hard pill to swallow. Definitely applying next year and definitely to more than just 1 school. To those who are in the same boat as me dont give up! I work with great doctors that had to go through 2 and 3 cycles to make it in. I requested an application review, so I'm going to figure out what I need to work on and try again. Congrats to those who made it through, you guys are going to do great things!

Awe, sorry to hear that. Definitely apply to multiple schools next year! It’s best not to put all your eggs in one basket. Best of luck to you 🙂
