Is anyone that was accepted for fall ‘24 thinking about accepting the offer to start in May? Curious to maybe talk to people who are considering it!
Are they offering you the option for May or Fall?Is anyone that was accepted for fall ‘24 thinking about accepting the offer to start in May? Curious to maybe talk to people who are considering it!
How did you apply for both? Did they just offer you spring without you applying for it or did you ask?Accepted Spring 2025, waitlisted fall 2024! Hoping I get into fall *fingers crossed*

Oh strange I literally interviewed last week for fall and they said nothing about it being full. Wish they did lolI applied and got waitlisted for fall (since fall is full now), but if at any point I wished to move my acceptance to the spring semester I can just start then. So yeah they offered me spring without me asking for it, my advisor just laid out all the options for me. I also got a nice tuition incentive to start May of this year but I don’t think I’m mentally prepared for that lol
I am considering it but waiting to hear back from all the schools I applied to still before deciding. I wonder how many spots they have for the may start, it's a cool option for sure!Is anyone that was accepted for fall ‘24 thinking about accepting the offer to start in May?

Is your application in the review committee after interview or still being reviewed before? If before I’d just give them a call bc they’re bad at answering emailsApplication had been under review for a while now, when I contacted my advisor they said they were waiting on a transcript yet I had sent it and still nothing. Now reading other comments that fall is full? So kind of freaking out I won’t get an interview now…

I'm deciding between Ross and SGU and would start fall 2024, I have a couple of questions comparing the schools if anyone is able to answer
1. AVMA accreditation / NAVLE pass rate: both are accredited but Ross has a NAVLE pass rate of 81%, for some reason I can't find any information about SGU's pass rates on their website. Do Ross or SGU students generally feel more prepared for the NAVLE, can any current students attest to this? I heard some rumors that Ross has an AVMA accreditation review this year, would their lower NAVLE pass rate mean they could potentially lose accreditation?
2. Do either schools have particular opportunities for exotics experience?
3. What is each schools process school for matching with a US school for fourth year? Are there guaranteed clinical year matches for students at both SGU and Ross?
4. Cost of living: are they comparable (St. Kitts/Grenada)?
If anyone can answer these questions (or opinions on SGU vs. Ross) I would be super grateful!! Good luck to everyone accepting offers this spring!!

That is correct they can’t accept new students but the bigger question is what is Ross doing to remedy the situation. I wasn’t satisfied with the dean’s answer.I'm deciding between Ross and SGU and would start fall 2024, I have a couple of questions comparing the schools if anyone is able to answer

I assume that is for the DVM program? Vet prep doesn’t qualify for a federal student loan. If so, the information given to me about a year ago was you can get a federal student loan for the cost of attendance that was $36,216 per semester. After subtracting tuition & fees with an estimate for books, that left approximately $9,408 for food, transportation, rent, electricity, and flights. The fight prices are dependent on if you are on the east coast vs Midwest to west coast. The person I knew was spending about an average of $120 per week for food at Rams. By the way, the $9,408 would increase by $780 the following semesters since there was a one time fee for first semester. There is more to consider than just the cost too. Hopefully this helps.Hi I just got an offer today for Ross to start in May 2024 but I have some questions.
I haven't started my fasfa to ask for federal aid. Does anyone know how long that takes to be processed?
Does the financial aid cover all costs tutition, food, off-campus housing, books, travel? I'm worried I won't have enough left over to live on the island.
Thank you so much. Yes I have been accepted for the DVM program. I am from the Caribbean not the states so I do get 45min flights directly from where I live and they aren't as expensive.

When you submit your fafsa you will receive your loan amount in a lump sum I am pretty sure. But they will automatically work with Ross to make sure they give you the correct amount to cover everything!Thank you so much. Yes I have been accepted for the DVM program.

Since Ross is a trimester based school, that means I get roughly $9,408 after every semester, so 3 times a year?
Yes. That is correct. 45 minute flight you must be really close. Have you looked at St. George? Will you be eligible for US federal loans?Thank you so much.

Does anyone know if there’s a Facebook group for those starting in the fall?
Yes I applied to both schools. Already got accepted to Ross but waiting to hear back from SGU. I am eligible yes!Yes. That is correct. 45 minute flight you must be really close. Have you looked at St. George? Will you be eligible for US federal loans?
Was accepted to Jan 2025! For anyone curious the fall class is very full she said so if you are interviewing for fall you will most likely be waitlisted and accepted for the next semester. She did say that submitting your deposit moves you further up the waitlist for fall semester. Good luck to everyone else still waiting
Yes everyone currently interviewing and then being offered admission to the dvm class is being offered Jan 2025 bc fall is full. You could also be offered May 2024 if you want but the sept2024 is fully unavailable currently.Can I ask when you submitted your application? Does that mean, if the fall 2024 is full, the applicants automatically being moved to Jan2025 ? But all may2024, sep2024, jan2025 are down as available on their website. Thanks
i have had the best luck calling.Getting a little nervous as my application is and has been under for review since 2/9.....I have already emailed but we all know they aren't the greatest with emails so I'm starting to get nervous as many of you have said fall is now full and that's what I applied for. Starting to get a bit discouraged........haven't restarted my VMCAS application in case I get accepted to Ross but I don't know....
Heard there's a new school in Puerto Rico, so maybe I'll look into that.
Hey fellow puertorican here. I suggest not applying to UAGM. They aren’t accredited by AVMA which would mean 4 more years of studying and 4-6 tests so you can practice in the US.Getting a little nervous as my application is and has been under for review since 2/9.....I have already emailed but we all know they aren't the greatest with emails so I'm starting to get nervous as many of you have said fall is now full and that's what I applied for.

What steps have you done so far?anyone accepted for fall 24 know what are next steps are? I feel sort of lost.
Hi guys! I am new to this forum, I am attending the Fall '24 class and am in the middle of all my preparation. Has anyone heard anything on the student housing end? It is the final step in my required steps, and I know it says we will receive an email closer to start date but I am just trying to figure out all the logistics
When I talked to one of the advisors about a week or so ago,I believe he said end of may beginning of June they'll start sending the fall classes stuff out. But I may be wrong on that.Hi guys!

Okay thank you so much I appreciate itI have talked with student advisors and what they basically told me is that they’re giving priority right now to the students who are starting in May. So I imagine that during or after May we’ll receive more info on what the next steps will be!

Omg WHATHi!! I had a meeting with the advisors because I was a little stressed and they basically told me there is no on campus housing for Fall ‘24 as they are undergoing renovation. They will be sending out housing information end of May and advised me not to look for housing yet because there won’t be much available
