Hi! Congratulations! I have been seeing a lot of people commenting on their portal being updated...I don't think I have accessed my student portal yet, and I'm having a hard time finding it on the school's website...do you know where I would find the login for the portal?? Thanks!
It's your application portal
No idea. It makes me wonder how many IS applicants interviewed this year, may have been fewer than usual
They usually interview around 90 IS. Last year it took them awhile, but most years IS hears back about a week later 🙂
is this your 2nd time?🙁 I hope I at least got waitlisted, ugh
Yeah, 2nd year interviewing 🙁
Mine too but I didn't even get an interview last year :/ lol, we'd totally be friends if we were both at Wsu.
Right? Like how many years of my life am I going to spend in this limbo-phase...
What if we all join together and start a vet school in Hawaii? If we own it, they'd have to let us in
Literally my back-up plan is to move to Hawaii and just sit on the beach for a few years. This might be an inappropriate use of the word "literally"
I think it is a great use of the word literally.
Honestly if it weren't for quarantining my dog and the complete lack of jobs for people with the degrees I have, then yeah, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Have you narrowed down your choices any more since I talked to you at the mixer?
Has anyone who didn't get an email received any mail yet?
🙁Oh god, I won't be home until 5 🙁Just got the rejection letter in the mail.
At that point might be good to get different LORS anyways, just in case they aren't doing anything exceptional for your app.
Are you planning to have the exact same people write all your letters? I would recommend you find different people (or just more if you only had 3) so the committees can get a new picture of you as an applicant. Obviously this isn't possible for some of them like if you only work with one vet, but I think it would be worth having some fresh perspectives on your application!
Aww I’m sorry 🙁Just got the rejection letter in the mail.
This is my second year applying and I asked the same three people from last year (one DVM, one DVM/PhD, one PhD) and I asked a forth person for this cycle who is a PhD candidate, so I had four letters this year.
I'm confident they've written me strong letters and I have had a few different people both years, I'm more-so worried about annoying them. Probably a dumb fear but the professor who wrote my academic letter retired and he's the only professor I had a personal relationship with. Ugh, lots of thinking to do...
Did you do the file review last year? I’m not sure if they’ll be able to tell you something so specific, but you could ask if your letters in any way hindered you.
I think if you have a good relationship with them it's not annoying at all! I would even say you should ask them given your situation if they can offer any advice on things you could improve during the year while you wait for the next cycle. They may not be able to give vet school specific answers, but they are still professionals in their fields with insights as to what makes a good applicant in general, a good learner, a good worker, and all that.
Received my waitlist letter this afternoon. My portal hasn't updated as of this evening.
Where are you located?
Oregon
Oh I'm an Oregon resident! But in the midwest at school. did you apply to osu?
Thank you! I'll keep checking as well to let you know 🙂
Applied and accepted (thank god!). Did you apply there?
Yes I did! Accepted and attending!
It’s something they should email you soon! Once you have a vetmed email you’ll get it when they send it out to the whole school.
Thanks! My friend said housing is kind of crazy if you don't look/get one early so I'd rather be proactive than reactive!
I think if you rent by mid-March you’ll be okay. Pre-leasing starts around now to early March. I rented mine in Feb and there weren’t many listing yet.
Same and same!!
