I just got wrecked in a (residency) interview and just looking for commiseration. I was just embarrassed and laughing about it yesterday, but kinda feel sad today thinking about plan D, E, F, G and how I manage to continually screw myself over. Pls share. <3

Thanks for the honest answer. I feel you on the not wanting to wait until I'm old to enjoy life! I'm older than your average student which is why I also want to get moving on finances. But you can't put a price on doing what you love! So I guess I gotta choose what I love :)

Thanks everyone for your replies and honesty. I had no idea this was the actual financial state of things for path. Going into vet school, even the dean was telling us "if you want to make a lot of money, do path" (not that money was ever a primary motivating factor, I just like looking at cells...

How much do pathologists actually make without a PhD? I went into vet school wanting to be an anatomic pathologist, but now that it's time to apply, I'm having cold feet because I'm worried about finances. I have ~250k debt. I want to be able to pay back my student loans and start living life...

Awesome, thanks! Glad we don't have to worry about that. I have to say though - why on earth put a score to it then at all? Just another thing for students to compare.

Newb question but I keep getting conflicting answers. Some people say it doesn't matter as long as you pass. Conversely, in human med, your board scores are pass fail but the scores are like grades - hugely affect how you get ranked for residency. Does this happen in vet med? Thanks and stay...

The fin aid letters are out! And gee... those loan numbers have me sweating. Lol

I know this is a little late, but does anyone know if the personal statement of interest for Cornell's scholarships is more factual and concise, or if it should be told more like a story, like the VMCAS personal statement?

Does anyone know if the information session is much different from the new student orientation in August, or if it was super helpful for accepted/decided peeps to attend? I'm coming from the other side of the nation and budget's kinda tight, so I want to make sure whether I should fly out there...

Accepted admission on the portal! Can't believe I just did that after lurking on SDN for so many years. Overjoyed and awed. I'm still shocked that I was accepted despite so much self doubt, lackluster stats, and getting rejected at every other school. THANK YOU GUYS for being here throughout the...

Does anyone know when their winter break begins?

Were all of the rejections sent via snail mail?

Another alternate here. Congrats to everyone who got accepted!

I see. Thanks for all of your help!
