Yup this is exactly what mine says! Nothing else.

Mine says that exactly, but above the upload materials it says what my picture I posted is. Basically, the status of my application.
That is really odd, mine never said that! I thought it was weird that it didn't say the actual status in the status check system...
@itseunsss @angie_76 @doctor-who
did your portals ever say the actual status, and what do they say now?
It said the same thing as your post:
"Welcome to the Status Page for your Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) application. Below you will find important information about your application.
If you need to contact us regarding your application, provide your name and this reference number: #########.
Upload Materials..."
There was no real information about my status once it got sent to the committee. Before it was sent to the committee though, I think it said something about my app being reviewed by the admission people. Hang tight and you should hear from them about interviews soon!
Okay that makes sense! I think mine got sent to committee quickly so I never saw the other status update, just wanted to make sure! And good luck!!!
Hi. Can someone please guide me to links to prep for the western interview? Thank you.
I never got a committee review message on my portal (I checked right after I was sent to committee review) but now there is a portion that has my interview time and a link for more information!
Know about the school and think about why you would be a good fit according to their founding principles. Also think about your goals, how you manage stress, and how PBL would work for you.
Think of examples of stress or failure and how you overcame and learned from that. Think about unique and special things about you or your personality and how that would play into you doing well at their school and being a good veterinarian in the future.
Are people still getting interview invites or is hearing nothing a bad sign at this point?
Mine hasn’t been sent to committee yet lol so I think there is still a chance for interviews.

Well at least it’s always a better feeling knowing other people are in your same boat.

I’m not sure what they were offering before but they offered me dates through November 11th, it was a little expensive for tickets because I’m coming from Florida but I already booked them!
Congrats! Do you happen to remember what the date was in December?!
December 2nd.

I submitted on the last day before the deadline . Offered two days after verified. And had my interview yesterday. Overal interview was very relaxed. They want you to attend if offered.
Congrats! I guess I’ll just stay hopeful as I wait to hear anything!

So I was planning on leaving straight from the school to go to the airport for my flight home, the only problem is I would have a backpack with me. Does anyone know if there would be a place to leave my backpack during the interview?
I’m sure if you arrive early and ask it would look more professional/understanding. You sign in and then head to a common room with tables. Depending on the size as well of the bag too. We were given a westernu bag that was slim. It was nice cuz I put my very small notebook and phone in there with my pen. It helped me not having bulky items in my pants. Worse case is just find a place to storage outside.
I hope you hear good news soon. I was extremely surprised how fast I got an interview despite the submission. They did mention we will hear back early Jan for acceptance. They are doing 7 days of interviews. So this week two are basically done. 26th & 28th. So until early dec. they invited 400 total for 105 seats. Not sure when all 400 invites been given out.
I submitted on 9.17 as well. However it took me 3 weeks to be verified and more than a month to sent to committee for review.
Guys I think that my interview went well today [emoji119] but it’s so relaxed I think a lot of people thought that?? It’s a pretty fun day so everyone that’s got interviews don’t stress 🙂
Also I kept a large bag with me all day and dropped it off at the tables where people watched it for me during the 30 min of interviews. They also have a designated room where people with a lot of luggage can go leave their stuff during tours. It’s well organized!

Do you mind sharing the questions they asked you? I would appreciate the opportunity to better prepare myself 🙂)
