Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know I'm withdrawing my application. Hopefully it makes the odds just a tiny bit better. I really hate it when people keep their application in when they know they don't want to go to a school but they just want to see if they get accepted. I think that's lame and really rude to others who would love to be accepted. I really liked Western and the people there were so nice so I wish you all the best of luck!!!!!

Thank You! Have you decided where you are going to go?
I just got into Tufts and I never thought I'd get in and I really want to go there! But I've had my head set on Edinburgh for a while now so I think I'm going to wait a week and really think it out and make sure Tufts is where I want to be.
The key is act nonchalant about vet school to those around you who may actually be capable of staging an intervention: "oh, my vet school applications... you know its out of my hands now so no point in worrying. I'll just keep studiously plugging away on my computer."
Meanwhile those on SDN know the actual level of obsessive.

I withdrew mine too. Not sure why I waited so long to do it, but better late than never! Good luck to everyone! 🙂
Chii Chan and RunTheWorld, that's very considerate of you both to withdraw your apps. Congrats on you acceptances and good luck in the fall. I hope that your withdrawal will give someone who really would like to go to Western a better chance.
BTW, to the rest of us waiting, I hope that we will have heard from Western by this time next week 😱

Me three!!! 😀

I wish I had an exact date for when I'll find out. After trolling some of the older Western threads, some people got emails on the 12th, and some people didn't get snail mail until around the 18th.
I just want to start making plans for moving and stuff. I'm OCD when it comes to planning things out way ahead of time. The uncertainty is killing me.

Me too! I try not to look up a lot of stuff about moving cause I don't want to jinx myself or get my hopes up too much but I want to start planning sooo bad!
Yeah, I noticed that people got emails on the 12th last year! My prediction for us is late next week by email, lol.
I am going to agree with your prediction and really hope it is right. An acceptance right before Spring Break will make for one really GREAT week! Good Luck Everyone!!
Me too!!
ME FOUR!
I'm dying to hear because if I get in I get to start thinking about getting a DOG!
Does anyone know if it's supposed to be emails or snail mail?
That is clearly a polar bear, not a dog. Jeez, and you want to go to vet school???
This is going to be the longest weekend/week EVER!! It is the week before Spring Break, I only have classes on Tuesdays/Thursdays none of which I really NEED to go to (no exams/major homework assignments; only a quiz in lab on Tuesday but we have one of those every Tuesday), and we could possibly/potentially hear from Western at the end of this upcoming week. If I have to wait the entire weekend after this weekend I might just:
or 
or 
Oh wow I know what you mean... I've got a midterm wednesday, work friday, and then spring break. It will be a very good break or a very bad break lol
I've been busy lately and I didn't really focus on the date until this weekend... but its glaring back at me on the calendar. People always ask me and I say not til mid march... oh wait thats almost now. A week? really? AH!

I think from now until I get a letter in my hands, seeing this thread bumped up will give me a heart attack.
I also had a mini heart attack after seeing this thread updated since I last checked on Thursday
so so so nervous!
i got my email last year on the 12th. I was placed on the alternate list and got my email in the morning. it is my understanding from talking to western that if you have not heard by the 15th (monday) we should check with their office. My guess is that we will hear by the end of this week probably thursday/friday! good luck to us all!
Are there any current students that can tell us when letters are mailed?
Crossing fingers that it is this week!
Maybe, just maybe that doctor who helped with interview has no information about the actual selection process and only helps during interview time? 😕 Either way I really, really hope to hear something this week! Good Luck everyone!
Countdown to Friday: 4 DAYS!
Countdown to Monday: 7 DAYS! Well, since Monday is ALMOST over 6 days!
Oh and sorry if I gave anyone a heart attack; it was not my intention.

LOL! I had 4 minor heart attacks today each time I saw this damn thread up on top of the board again. (Not that I'm an SDN addict or anything...) I'm sure I just gave you guys another one. My apologies.
I just want to say good luck to my *hopefully* future classmates! Just think positive thoughts all week!

Don't worry I have had the same heart attack every time I saw it bumped up...and now I am bumping it up again. I am thinking positively...I have started to look at apartments in the areas around Pomona (maybe that is a litte too positive?) Oh well, it gives me hope. Good Luck to you!
Hopefully we will be seeing each other in August at Western!
Just to add to the anxiety of anticipation...last year the emails came in approximately 11pm Pacific time 😱 that would be 2am for you east coasters 😀
Place your bets folks...put me down for Thursday...although if we found out tomorrow and I lose the bet that would be alright.
Good luck to all

11 PM pacific time is fine with me...that is only midnight here. And I only have classes on Tuesdays/Thursdays and my earliest class isn't until 9:30 so I will easily stay up until 12:30 or 1:00. Well, my vote was going to be for Thursday, but you stole it! So, I will be incredibly hopeful and make my vote for late Wednesday. 😛 Of course anytime before that is also fine with me! Good Luck everyone!
I am not sure how many people they interviewed this year. I am assuming the class is around 105 student (about what it was for c/o 2013)
Here are the stats from their website: (I am not sure if the interview granted= the number of people interviewed because people do turn down offers of interviews).
Western web said:
Hopefully this gives you somewhat of an idea of chances for getting in. I would estimate chances are around 1/3. Better than before interviews! Good Luck to you!
I guess I'll start the heart attacks. =P
Recognized someone's name on my friend's facebook status (they send so many e-mail notifications), and she interviewed at Western! I contacted her and she said she got in to Western. I don't know when they let her know (and she's going to school in SLO, approximately 4 hours away). But apparently they've already started, just to let you know!

oh geez, are you sure it was for the vet school? And I thought I had a few more days before I had to freak out! lol

That's exactly how I feel. Still waiting to see if any SDNers from California got any news!
Do you know that she meant Western U in pomona, or could she have been referring to Western Veterinary College in Canada?
That's what I am thinking. I'm guessing its some sort of misunderstanding?
I also think it is a misunderstanding and that we will probably find out Thursday or Friday. My guess. But I would take finding out sooner. 😀
