That is really encouraging to me, I've applied three times now and haven't even gotten an interview. I am so happy you are interviewing, I hope you do amazing! 🙂
For those of you who have already applied multiple times and not gotten in what are you guys doing to try and increase your chances of getting in??
I retook one course to bring it up to an A.
I started taking a full course load and did well in all my classes. I enrolled into an after degree program, essentially a second Bachelors??
I volunteered with whoever would take me and tried to get as much diversity as possible.
I'll let you know if it becomes successful!

I laughed out loud ... oh god ahahaha.
I know ... I try not to think about it every waking moment...
but I do anyway.
Does anyone else go through the phases of "yeah, I think I have a really good shot of being accepted!!" to "I doubt I'm getting in this year.." sometimes within the same day? Maybe I'm just going crazy from having to wait so long..Thank goodness they're deciding soon.

Not one of you guys applying to WCVM, but I seriously went through this in March before the acceptances came back from the university I applied to. It'd be a daily thing - "I'm never getting in..." then "Well, maybe I have a good chance!" and back and forth and back and forth. I was starting to doubt my sanity a bit by the end.
Story. Of. My. LIFE.
Sometimes within the same hour!

Do we know if they will post the final decision on the status page the same time they send out the letters?? I hate waiting for post.... 🙁
Anxiety has reached maximum levels. Let's just fast-forward 1 week. 🙂

They're sending out emails telling you to check the online portal I'm pretty sure. When I had my interview I asked Heather in person how they were going about sending out acceptances and that's what she told me. Then that final decision button will be accessible and you click into that to find out your fate!! I just hope I'm at home or around a computer whenever that happens and not stuck at work or something ah!

That will be the most nerve-wracking mouse-click EVER.
Agreed! It really is!

Also... Akroening, was your status portal updated?? Or just the call first and then the status portal update like for interviews? I'M PANICKING 🙂 ...
REGRET CLICKING ON THIS THREAD SO MUCH. HEART ATTACK CENTRAL.
... at least I'm a BC resident, so I don't think I have to worry ... today, at least. Probably just Alberta first because of UCVM.
But now cue me checking the portal every day for the rest of the week.

omg call back and then report back here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure that if you got a phone call, missed or otherwise, you're in. I believe they are only calling the successful AB applicants. I didn't get a phone call, so I guess I landed in the REJECTED pile. :cry:
When I got my call, the Dean said he was going to try and get through the list today, but he had quite a few still to call and that was around 4:30 - so there is still hope 🙂 He also said everyone's portal will be updated tomorrow with acceptance options (accept/decline button) or feedback information.
Good luck 🙂
Good luck 🙂

Omg congrats LeilaFay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He said everyone's portal will be updated (I have a BC friend waiting as well for her answer so I thought I better ask while I had the chance!)
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Thanks for asking by the way)
But
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Omg I'm freaking out 🙁 and worst part! I'm stuck working outside at a golf charity event ALL day. I'll die if I can't check it until supper. May have to take a super long bathroom break and drive home to check hahaha. Congrats again everyone who has heard already, so exciting!
He said they called AB applicants because UCVM did and they didn't WCVM to seem out of touch compared to them - normally he said he would have called tomorrow, but he was going to be busy with convocation ceremonies and probably wouldn't have time to get through all the AB calls.
