Just got another “continued interest” email. Maybe they have more spots opened up?? Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
I was just about to say the same thing lol
This is our 3rd email for continued interest! 😕
That's true, but since then there have been 3 different instances where they sent out offers! Granted, they've been sent to very, very few people, but one can still hope!
Yes, this year it seems like wayyyy less compared to other years

I heard some other schools no one even got off waitlist! Idk if anyone else noticed, but it seems they send it once a month on the 20th.
Hopefully next year is better!
Yeah, it’s really unfortunate 🙄 I haven’t noticed that trend but all I know is 3-4 people on this forum were pulled off

Hi guys! I know it's been awhile but just wanted to check in with all my fellow waitlistees and see how you guys are doing! I know it's been incredibly rough and stressful, especially with August soon approaching, plus maybe a whole ton of you are already working on this upcoming cycle, but y'all are amazing! Even though we get waitlisted, I think it's also important to remember that a majority of applicants didn't get waitlisted, so that should be an accomplishment in itself.
You are amazing for this beautiful post! Your words and kindness are so appreciated on this forum! It’s been very hard to accept that this could be our reality, but we must carry on for next cycle and hope for a better outcome. We are pretty darn amazing, I must say, and if we can just have a better application this cycle, I don’t doubt we will receive that acceptance ☺️ a majority didn’t get waitlisted? Wow! I wish we knew those stats 😌
Are there any current vet students out there who can weigh in on the following….?
When being considered by admissions, is it favorable to work part-time and go to school or not work and go to school full-time? Trying to get an idea of how to approach my current situation. I am waitlisted and want to retake upper division courses to improve my GPA, but I work as a vet tech and don’t want to lose too many hours at my job.
Thank you!

Hey, I saw that!! I think that means someone dropped? What do you think? It was from Tonisha Rowan this time and not Robin Johnson 🤔

Oh that's so interesting! I actually didn't notice, but yeah, my email came from Michael Haverkamp. I guess there must've also been some shuffling around with the lead admissions counselor?
The first 3 times the letter of continued interest was from Robin Johnson and now it’s from our direct counselors!!! I hope that means something promising.
Anyone else out in the SDN universe get another letter of continued interest?
I got the email yesterday from my designated counselor Tonisha Rowan
They might be sending out continued interest letters because orientation is next week. They told us that if we don't attend the full week of orientation, they take it as a sign that we are not interested and our spot will be given to an alternate!
Wow, orientation is a whole week? So, if an applicant is admitted a day before class begins, I’m assuming they will miss out entirely on the orientation? When does the white coat ceremony take place?
Typically all days are mandatory but if you don't show up Monday (which is the core deadline) you will lose your spot and they will contact someone from the alternative list. It's assumed if you show up Monday you'll be there the entire week. As for white coat it's that Saturday following orientation. It's always possible a seat opens up so you just have to be ready!
Thank you so much for the information,it’s often difficult to get in contact with our designated counselors, so I appreciate you! I live close by so I’d be able to begin if needed be, but would I be required to place a deposit and/or pay some type of tuition to be admitted that late, or will they give me a little time to gather my loan from financial aid? 😃
I'm actually not sure how the process works, but I want to say you pay a deposit. Though tuition is technically due 8/1but late fees don't apply until 8/9. I'm pretty sure they are flexible.
Hey everyone! Has anyone made a WesternU c/o 2027 forum yet? If not, I can make one for us.
