oos rejection
OOS Rejected 🥲 -le sigh- it’s been a rough two weeks of rejections.
Oh well! Congrats to everyone who got in and those who got waitlisted!!
Keep your heads up for the rest of us!! It only takes one and if this was your last notification let yourself feel the feelings, as this is my fourth application cycle I know how much those rejections sting. If doesn’t mean anything against you as a person. 💕

1st time applicant. OOS WICHE waitlisted.
i’m from CA as well and I heard yesterday
Maybe send them an email? 😭 There seems to be something going on with their communication system maybe I think lol? I’m from CA (non WICHE) and received an acceptance call, but no acceptance email yet. However, some people have already gotten an acceptance email. I’m freaking out lol.
Thank you, I just sent them one 🫠 congrats on your acceptance!!!! I’m sure you’ll get your email soon 🫶[emoji2533]
OOS rejection…can’t say I’m surprised 🤷🏻♀️

oos waitlisted. congrats to everybody accepted<3!!! so so excited for everyone.
also wanted to echo what DogtorAsh gracefully wrote. this is my second cycle, and i've learned a school's decision does not define a person's worth at all. please acknowledge how far you've come :,)

I can definitely post more details on the successful applicants thread later on because it was incredibly useful to me before I applied, but here are some of my rough stats. I am still in shock since I am way below their average, but I am very proud of my story as a non-traditional and first generation applicant. This proves they really are holistic!
Overall GPA: 3.10
Science GPA: 3.56
Last 45: 3.94
Vet Hours: ~3000 hrs (varied and unique with both LA, SA, some exotics, etc.)
Animal Hours: ~10000 hrs (I had a completely different career with animals before I even considered vet school, and I have never not worked full time throughout my entire academic career).
Edited to fix hours

Thank you so much for sharing this because my gpa’s are very similar and this gives me hope for next year if I don’t get an acceptance somewhere else 🥹

How much has the waitlist moved in previous years?

69th…not terribly confident to get off of it before the deadline though, given how small their OOS class is…

They take a separate and predetermined amount of IS, OOS, Contract, and WICHE. My comment was referring to the fact that their predetermined amount for OOS is typically very small. Last year, it was 24 students.

They emailed
I have an interview with WSU soon and I’m pretty nervous. Is there any advice from someone who’s done one here?
I saw the sdn info page for WSU with sample questions etc. Just looking for any advice/reassurance? Forum threads?
Are there topics I should definitely avoid? Basically, why do people get rejected after their interview?

I used the sample questions on here to practice and then I had family and friends do mock interviews with me. The interviewers do have access to your file prior to interview and I just used some of my experiences in vet med to answer their questions. There were two faculty members and one vet outside of WSU. From what I can remember they ask some ethical questions and some of them were “tell me about a time…” type of questions!

Yeah I'm OOS maybe that's why I haven't heard anything about sending them in? I might send them in just in case, when is the deadline they gave u? Thanks!
