So happy to see threads are being made for schools!!
Last I knew they used the VMCAS GPA for cumulative and whatever qualifying courses for prereq/science GPA. The admissions committee has changed some in the last year or 2 so I definitely don't have the most up-to-date info. Maybe someone who's still on the didactics side and involved with ambassadors might know. Good luck!
I would say contact the school and ask them! The earlier you question it, the more flexible they may be!!!
Depends on your pool. My year I was OOS and heard the week of thanksgiving. It varies from year to year. I'd check out previous year threads to get a better idea!
Thanks for sharing. I was looking on the WSU DVM website and it says "December 20, 2021- All initial e-mail notifications have been distributed." I don't know what that means, but I thought I would share since it's a specific date that we can all look forward to. It also makes me wonder if they will implement the CASPER test or something similar instead of interviews this year.
For schools that wanted Casper tests, they were due with the application so I don’t see them implementing it now mid cycle
I didn't have to do it last cycle, but if I'm not wrong I thought there were a couple of schools (UF comes to mind) that implemented the CASPER in Dec or January last year. I don't know for sure though. I hope you're right though.
That could be but it seems weird cause to my knowledge the schools don’t get to actually see your responses, your responses get scored by people and the scores get sent. The only thing the schools see are that score and if they require or consider it the snapshot that’s optional depending on if schools want or use it or you just wanna practice
December is going to be a stressful month for me haha
SAME i'm supposed to hear back from all my schools in Nov/Dec
I was looking again today to see when my other schools would start interview invites and that's how most are, but in December I could also hear if I get an early acceptance from LMU so I was already more stressed for December than the normal do I get an interview invite or not...
Sameeee but honestly who am I kidding, I've been panicking since the deadline
Oregon is doing the same thing in case others have applied there or are interested in knowing.
Congrats!! I’m surprised they are sending out interview invites so early!
The interviews for the different states come at different times. I think WA interviews usually come the week of Thanksgiving? Or maybe the week after.
Thank you🙂 NM. No interview!
Last year I think there were a handful of WICHE acceptances in November, but the majority of OSS applicants (most WICHE applicants included) were informed of rejection or interview offer in the first week of December. Since they aren't doing interviews for OSS this year, I'm assuming the majority of OSS applicants will hear back around that time as well. Worst case we will not know until December 20th.
Thanks for digging! I’m surprised that they are informing some WICHE applicants so much earlier than everyone else.
Are there interviews for OOS non WICHE this year?
No, they are only interviewing residents this year.
Just wanted to chime in and say this is normal for WSU and historical.
Did they randomly email you this or had you asked for an update?
It was a random email. I never emailed them. I did apply through a WICHE state initially, so I'm assuming that is why I might have heard before some of the other OSS.
Ahh okay I was frantically checking emails but maybe it’s something with WICHE 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Same! Also from a WICHE state
Every time I see someone post that they heard from any school in any way I frantically check my emails. I don’t know if finding this site is a blessing or a curse 😂
Same here... I have never checked my spam folder so much in my life lol
It’s horrible! It’s nice to meet people going through the same process but wow it’s such a stressful thing as well….
Have you already been accepted?
