Thanks vet1day, I hope your invite is on the way!! If you're on the east coast, remember, they are three hours behind, so there is a lot of time left today!
 
Congrats cs5910!!! So happy you heard back!!

Mine too!! The prospect of flying across the country on short notice is a little scary, but totally worth it of course. Happy thoughts!!
 
No news this weekend, but at least tomorrow is Monday!!
Good luck to everyone still waiting, I hope this week brings great news!
 
I was accepted to UC Davis earlier this month, and so after some debating I've decided to pass up on the Western interview. I'm pretty busy and simply don't have time to prepare for an interview when, to be honest, I personally wouldn't attend Western over Davis (for personal reasons).

But that means that maybe someone else will get to interview instead! I really hope you guys hear something tomorrow, and good luck!

Thank you very much!! And a HUGE congrats on UC Davis 🙂
 
Does anyone know if we are allowed to bring a guest? I flew in and my boyfriend is driving me to Western, and he was wanting to stay and go to the information sessions (he was pre-vet once and so is interested in learning about the pbl curriculum)

When selecting your interview date one of the other questions was how many guests you would be bringing. So yes, I think you are allowed to have him there, but may want to let them know

I just got an interview!!! But its during my Auburn interview days... They only give options on their website to pick jan 28, 29 or feb 2,4,5.... Its too late to buy flights for the 28/29 options and Ill be at Auburn the 2-5. So I am not sure what to do 😕

Yayyy congrats CS!!! Sorry they're putting you in a tight spot about dates. I'm sure you'll work something out though. All those happy/positive thoughts paid off 🙂

Also, general question: If we are not given an interview and therefore are rejected from the program this year will we be notified as soon as the committee decides not to offer the interview or are we just kept in limbo until March or whenever they offer spots?

Did anyone get an email saying their application has been returned from the admissions committee but the admissions counselors now need to deterimine their eligibility? I have never received an email like that before....
 
I just got that exact email about 30 minutes ago!! What does this all mean!?

It sounded promising, but I don't know what to think either =/
 
No idea. I thought they were supposed to determine our eligibility before it goes to the ad com.
 
whoever had the interview conflict with western, there are more interview days past the 5th of february so ask them about doing a different date!
 
Hey guys! Same situation as you all, they have to verify that I satisfied the prerequisites, however at the end of the letter it said: "Congratulations on making it to the next step of the process" so I am taking it as good news 😀

Hey Alexandra, were you ever placed on hold?
 
Hey RetroUnicorn,
No, never on hold. Got an email that I was send to review on December 10th and got this email today. Good luck with whatever stage you are in the process.
 
Good news is coming, keep your heads up!! I got my invite via email today 🙂 I am sure more people are gonna be hearing back soon! ... and mine went into review in november!

Congrats, Virginger, and everyone else getting interviews! If anyone has questions about the program or PBL or the area, feel free to PM me. (it's the easiest way to get in touch with me because I am notified via email and don't always check the boards here) I love it here!

Thanks!!!! I have a friend who is a second year there and says he loves it 🙂 I have only heard good things from people enrolled in it, which makes me very excited 😀 ...and I really like the PBL style from what I have read!
 
They're finally determining my eligibility! My email wasn't quite so optimistic but I'm guessing if they want to double check some pre-requisites, this could be going in the right direction 🙂

I got the same email a few weeks ago, have you heard anything else back? I'm starting to freak out!!
 
Haven't heard anything since I got that email 3 days ago 🙁
 
I think the e-mail asking about your pre-requisites is definitely a good thing. I got an e-mail concerning my pre-reqs a couple of days ago to confirm that my university used my AP scores to grant me credit for an English class. I sorted it out and got my interview invite the next day! I am super excited. Good luck to everyone waiting!!:luck::luck:
 
Same here, I was asked if I was going to take a pre-req during Spring, and was granted an interview the following day.

They did the same thing with me a few days ago and I just got an interview email. As far as I know it's a good thing! 🙂 Good luck! :xf::luck:
 
Is having a hold the same thing as determining eligibility? My app's still on hold and I haven't heard anything :/
 
Honestly speaking, do y'all think they're still sending out interview invites? It's February....
 
I do think they are still sending out invites, I'm just trying to be positive! =)
 
Yes I think they're sending invites out, I've heard they take longer than other schools. Also I'm not quite sure what the difference is between being on hold and being verified. I have a feeling that after verifying eligibility they can either put me on hold or invite for interview so I'm guessing verification comes before? No idea 😕 Just trying to stay positive, good luck everyone 😀 :luck:

I'm in the same boat. A little scared. It's true that they take longer than other vet schools though since they take everything into consideration for each application and not just the grades. I can see why that would take more time.
 
Monday could not come any sooner! Really hoping for some good news this week...
 
I turned down my interview invite today, I hope one of my fellow SDNers gets my spot!!! Now there will be at least one interview invite tomorrow! :luck: :luck: :luck:
