OOS interview invite!
IS (maryland) interview invite !
Congratulations! You worked so hard for this moment. Welcome to motherhood!IS (MD) interview invite!! I’m 28, and this is my 5th cycle! I almost didn’t apply this cycle because I just had my baby in August I’m so happy I did 😩
I’m feeling this too. Bummed because it’s my second rejection in less than a week. This process is tough.OOS rejected Sort of anticipated this one but still stings a lil because VMCVM was my former/home state IS and half my alma mater. Good luck to everyone still in the running!
I haven't done the interview this year yet, but I did one last year. If you look at the attributes and try to confidently answer the questions and back yourself up you'll do well.Happy Holidays! Does anyone know how many OOS receive interviews? Has anyone taken the interview yet?
Thank you!!I haven't done the interview this year yet, but I did one last year. If you look at the attributes and try to confidently answer the questions and back yourself up you'll do well.
As for the numbers- here is a screenshot from the info session with the numbers for each pool of interviewing applicants and the seats to be filled.

What they have done in years prior to last is that once you're granted an interview and complete it, they would waitlist everyone, but last year they said that they were no doing that because the lists were very lengthy, so they will decline some after interviews, waitlist some, and accept the rest. That is what they did last year, so I would assume they are doing the same this year?
Hopefully this is helpful
I completed my interview on the 15th and also interviewed last application cycle. I agree with what SunshineSophie said above but also wanted to add that nerves are completely normal.Happy Holidays! Does anyone know how many OOS receive interviews? Has anyone taken the interview yet?
You’re not alone! Except I can’t remember if it was the 3rd or 4th question for me. I think we’re all just too hard on ourselves and are our worst critics. I’m sure you did great! Only one out of eight questions shouldn’t affect points too badly and it definitely doesn’t determine who you truly are as a person!Just did my MMI today. I'm very hard on myself so take this with a grain of salt but I do feel like I botched the first question. I had good points bulleted on a piece of paper, but when the timer ticked down and I was ready to start talking, I got extremely red and nervous and started word vomiting my points without really connecting them. Then I stared at my paper and said "um..." and actually said "oh gosh I'm so nervous" and nervously laughed but then I sort of just started over and my words and thoughts started flowing much more nicely. So I do think I redeemed myself but the first like minute of the question is probs painful to watch lol. I think the other 7 questions went really well though. Did anyone have a similar experience or some words of encouragement? Hoping the first question is slightly standardized because I'm sure it's everyone's worst response since it's the first one!
thank you this made me feel a lot better!You’re not alone! Except I can’t remember if it was the 3rd or 4th question for me. I think we’re all just too hard on ourselves and are our worst critics.

Yeah I just took it and botched one or two questions. I just wasn’t ready for the prompt to be that specific 😅 But when i interviewed last year (different school same format) i thought i did horrible but after doing a file review i found out i scored above average for the interview. I think we probably did fine but are just over thinking thingsthank you this made me feel a lot better!

Did you do a review of your interview last year with Dr. Pelzer over the summer? I was also waitlisted MD last year and found my review with her extremely helpful!I agree with this-
I interviewed with VMCVM last year and did pretty well on my interviews first try. I had never interviewed with any other vet schoolor did any prep or the MMI questions and still did well! I felt like I did horrible, and this year I feel the same way. I think that most applicants probably feel this way since there are such high stakes with getting into vet school. Just try to stay active in other things during this waiting period! It's the waiting that is the most killer.
We got updates on Feb 17 last year with acceptance/waitlist/rejections. Good luck to all!

Same here! It was my only interview last year and I had no idea coming out of it how I did. I ended up getting 4/5 points on each question so hopefully I score similar this year🤞I agree with this-
