Oh, I get that all the time too from friends, family, coworkers, and people I volunteer with during the weekends. The anxiety of not knowing is only worse with every question. Insanity here I come (more than I already am)!
Oh my gosh I'm in the same situation with my undergrad!! There are only like 10 pre-vets here and only one other applying this round. My advisor/ mentor asked me yesterday and I unleashed my insecure babble on him and I think he regretted asking lol!! I just wish I knew if the letters were sent yet. Seems like last year some got emails first and others didn't.
I should try to be productive on my day off lol! Sorry that you don't have access to your mailbox! Hopefully they will send yours through email!!
I have a feeling it might not be. She didn't even have to look up anything after I told her Kansas. So I feel like there might be large pools of states that go out at the same time or maybe just a few who get email instead, of mail. Idk. I'm psyched though! ...and a bit scared..
CONGRATS!!! Omg that is wonderful!! I'm so checking my portal right now... Did it just say Accepted?
Crap I'm so scared to check!!!! Here we go.....
I'm on 1 wait list and waiting to hear from Purdue but not hopeful about that one... Ugh. Anyone know the time frame for hearing back from admissions?
Thank you!!! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear! Waiting is one of the worst forms of torture!!!
This was the first time
Nice work!! I wish that was me right now! Looks like I'll be working on my second application this summer.
Thanks! I think most things like this happen for a reason....maybe you will have some amazing experiences in your next year 🙂
It is the portal for the WSU supplemental application
Thanks for the kind words. If I don't get pulled from the alternate list (hopeful but I think chances are slim) then I hope I can accomplish whatever it is that these schools want to see!
Wonderful thank you!
We're in same boat. First year applying for me...I'm non trad, very exp heavy. I was really hopeful about WSU, my interview went soooo well. I was really expecting to be accepted and be excited like the others right now....instead I'm crushed. We now have to just wait til April. I hate waiting.
So sorry. I hate it :/ I was also hopeful about WSU. My interview went sooooo well. I'm actually a bit more academic heavy and need more experience. I also expected to be jumping with joy. I'm now losing hope. I have no idea how many alternates there are or how many they will go through but it just seems like a slim chance. My advisor got me pumped up and also thought I'd be accepted to multiple schools, but have not had one acceptance yet... Makes me really scared for next year.. Just not looking forward to (and was not expecting to) going through all of this again
I definitely still feel honored that I was picked for an interview but it just kinda sucks being so close. I hope that they go through quite a bit of the alternate list. You are right though. I'm starting to agree that this process is sort if a crap shoot.
Three. The first year it was early, I BARELY had the pre reqs covered, wasn't going to graduate yet and didn't even get an interview. The second year I had a bunch of interviews and was waitlisted all over the place. Never got called. Last year I refined my process, narrowed down schoosl. Had interviews, accepted here, waitlisted at MN. Got called off the wailist at MN but still chose here. I had really good stats, thousand and thousands of hours of varied experience and thought I would crush interviews since I am such a people person.
Oh, and WSU doesn't rank their alternates. When a spot opens, they go through their options and find who they think best fills the spot.
for you.
Thanks for the insight. You are very persistent!! I am hoping that I'll be able to refine the process as well if I'm not called off of the alternate list this year. I feel like I should just get experience in everything that I possibly can (probably should add some research to my schedule). I'm happy for you that you finally achieved your goal of getting in! Very inspiring. It's hard when you were not expecting things to be this crazy with the process!! I knew it would be competitive but never thought if would be like this at all!!
Oh gosh! Maybe my application twin will decide to go to a different school XD lol! So I'm guessing that the last day we know is around April 15, day of offer acceptance? That is a very different process!Oh, and WSU doesn't rank their alternates. When a spot opens, they go through their options and find who they think best fills the spot.
Hi c/o 2018 classmate! Congratulations! See you in Pullman come August for COLE! Look forward to meeting you!!
Yeah it was a bit of an eye opener for me. Not that first year. That was more of a "why not" shot. But the first year I really tried? Yeah. I was surprised. I rewrote my PS. Went a different route with it. Reworked how I put in my hours. Made sure that things I did that counted as leadership, like training new technicians etc, were put on there as leadership. And if you need to reapply, get a file review. Dr. Talcott is AWESOME and will tell you where to work on your app. I also worked with friends that HAD gotten in, on my app and PS, and I practiced my interviews.
Hi c/o 2018 classmate! Congrats!! See you for COLE in August!!
No you will hear the most the week to two weeks after that. Some students wait until the last day to accept offers.
It's looking like I'll be one of your COLE mentors. 😛
Woo hoo! You're perfect for COLE! You'll be wonderful 😉
Yeah I definitely plan to ask each school for an application review so I can know exactly where they would like to see improvement. I was wondering whether or not I should rewrite my PS since it caught the attention of 3 of the schools this time around. Now I just need to find some successful applicant friends to chat with lol! I am definitely ready to go get a second job at a vet clinic if I don't get in and do tons of shadowing, research, and random volunteering etc. I honestly think I lost some points for "veterinary experience" because I made a late-ish decision on vet school (I didn't think it was possible for me because of my allergies but found out otherwise later on!) so I really only had ~200 hrs (though I have tons of animal experience!).
