WesternU c/o 2025

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
As much as I think it’s good to be optimistic based off those numbers I am cautiously skeptical about if that’s a true representation. For Ohio’s unofficial group there were only 80ish people on the Facebook group april 15th and now on the official Facebook group it’s a full house. It’s possible that people don’t know about the Facebook group or are just waiting for the school to make an official one

Yeah I was definitely thinking that too. I'm sure there are probably accepted people that are just not aware of the group yet, etc. But what is keeping me optimistic is the fact that so many people have stated that they're declining their offers for other schools.

Agreed. And there are people on the waitlist here getting off the waitlists other places, so there’s that hope too lol

I am on LMU. I live in Georgia and am large animal emphasis so Tennessee is more ideal and a lot easier to move to than Western

You all are most definitely not alone, I am truly going crazy over this wait too lol it doesn't help seeing other schools waitlists moving along like Kansas, etc. Maybe I should start praying to the vet school god's 😂

I'm also slowly dying but other schools' waitlists moving is a good thing! Fewer people to compete with if they've got another seat they're happy with!

Good point!!

Yes I try to check the portal at least once a day because I didn't receive an email about my status changing when I was initially placed as an alternate, so I'm worried I may not receive another email if I get taken off the alternate list lol

I wish we knew how many alternates there were. It’s kind of frustrating that they haven’t really told us anything to ease our minds

Dude for real. They stopped responding to any of my emails lol. Their lack of communication during the whole application process this year has been really frustrating.
 
Someone have the courage to call them? Haha

isnt it only ~26k a year? but they do have ~160 seats
I'm not 100% sure on the tuition it's definitely cheaper than private schools but I think its one of the more expensive state schools tuition wise but its cost living is low
 
The Western facebook group went down 2 people, its now at 40 people lol

Guys I cannot believe I am posting this.... but just received an acceptance! They sent me an email telling me to check my portal for an update on my admissions status.... and the acceptance letter was in there. I cannot wait to meet everyone, class of 2025. This was my #1 choice it feels unreal. So there is hope for everyone still waiting and keep on checking your portals because that is where they will post it! Wishing the best for everyone still waiting!!
