If you pay the deposit to hold your seat, is it possible to defer a year? I can't seem to find the answer to this one the website...
Congratulations! Like I said...its case by case but at Western you do have to have rabies for first year and I don't think you can get that while pregnant.
You should PM Schurvy (hope i spelled that correct) Look through this thread and you should find her. She's really sweet and helpful and she had a similar situation so I would ask her how she handled it.
LOL to funnyI think it's Scrchvy...Schurvy sounds like she has a vitamin c deficiency (scurvy) LOL
I am so sorry to hear this as it has beena fear of all of us, but stay hopeful and try to be motivated about the next cycle expand your horizions by applying to more programs. I know it seems like we cant empathize with you but we can and I will pray for better days ahead for you. If you would like for me to share any of my info with you including stats and personal statement I am very willing !Still no email. My hope has faded away for getting into the class of 2015. I am fearing that I have been one of the rejections.

I hear ya and please dont give up me and you need to talk off this forum so send me a message so we can do that I have some inside info for you ok for next academic cycleI just talked to Lacey and if you didn't get an email at all, then you are rejected.
Thanks tuwest! I do appreciate the help. I did apply to 6 different programs, rejected from all. This is my third time applying, and although I do not have the best of grades, I did ok. I am so frustrated with the whole system. It seems as if the system does not favor non-trads. I am however keeping my head up. I know its not the end of the world. Learned that a long time ago.
I know I wasn't ready the first two times I applied, but I went back to school to get a masters. I'm finishing that as we speak. I also found out after my first semester of grad-school, that I have a learning disability. Now that I have fixed that, my grades are outstanding. I think it was just too late. I cannot financially afford to continue with grad school strictly in hopes of getting into vet-school. Going to pursue other avenues for now.
I may try again next year, but only time will tell. At first, I was very skeptical of Westerns program, but after my interview, I fell in love with Western. PBL really fits with my learning disability.
I am sorry for the rant everyone, but thanks for listening (reading).
What do u mean they give u 2,000 dollars for a pc??
Anyone know anything about this?
That would be very helpful!

I asked this a while back and Lacey told me they only defer for medical emergency, pregnancy, or extreme family situation. You cannot defer for financial reasons or personal reasons. Also, they accept deferments on a case by case basis so there is no guarantee of deferment for anyone.
Hi all, i am very new to this and im looking for some imput. I have been accepted into ross and just got an acceptance to Western as well. I am having trouble deciding which school is a better choice. I am very excited about the pbl's but also nervous because it is a new teaching style. i like ross, but it is very far away from home (arizona). if any current students could give me some input on the transition from undergrad to the pbl train of thought and learning that would be great.

Has anyone tried to log-in with the info western gave us in the email?
Mine doesnt seem to be working
lol have no fearthe alternate list will move my friend choose purdue ova western when she got accepted so it will move just give people time to make up there descions as you can be accepted to western up the 1st week of class at western n this is true of other veterinary programsSomeone said last year they only took 1, I think it's a lot lower than other schools who may go deep(er) into the waitlist, such as your other 3 wait-listed schools.
When you log in it takes you to a page that looks really similar and asks you to enter a password. You choose your password on that page and that will be the one you use from then on. I didn't see instructions for choosing a password so you might have to try a couple times to pick a password that fillfills the requirements
The thing is, Western accepts something like 130 students for their 105 spots. So 25 people need to decline before the list will move any, or something along those lines.
I have seen the list move in the last 3 years, but not ever by much. 3-5 people is the usual, but that's only on SDN so it's hard to tell what's really going on.
yea ur rite im looking for a roomie also so um can consider me if u want u can send me a messageHello everyone,
this is actually my first time posting. I have been accepted to western U and I am not frantically trying to figure out my housing situation. Anybody interested in a roommate?? It would be nice to live with another first year vet student so that we can relate to each other, study together, and basically pull each other through the entire process! Let me know!
Just wondering, those of you who have been accepted, are u still waiting to hear from other schools or been waitlisted in other schools? If u do get into ur waitlisted school what would you???
i am waitlisted at purdue and i honestly dont know what i would do, if i get in right after april 15th then ill really take time to consider my options since there are pros and cons to both schools, but if they dont get back to by may then western it is! i know i will be happy at either or, just dont know what i want
I am also waitlisted at purdue but fell in love in both schools. I am going to make a list of the pros and cons for both school and see what happens comes april. Do u know how long purdue will give u to make decision? Cuz this decision is going to really hard :/

i think they give you like a week or something (i could totally be wrong) but i would be curious to compare pros and cons list, i think the way im going to do it is pick a category for example how i liked the curriculum and say its worth 15% of my checklist and give purdue or western a 1 or 2 depending which one i liked more then multiply 1 or 2 by 15% then after all my categories and ranks and add them all up and whatever is the lowest score is my objectively better decision. i like spread sheets and numbers =)
but who knows if that would work i am more of the go with your gut kind of guy
LOL too too funny lol I mean its only fair rite lolol man that gave me a good lol for the dayI am still waiting to hear from my IS but I will be going to Western regardless!!
For those of you that might be declining.... if you do decide that you won't be attending Western, if you joined the fb group for the c/o 2015, would you mind deleting yourself from the fb group after you decide. Good luck wherever you decide to attend!!!
