Just change it to c/o 2024 applicants. There is always a general application thread to get to know one another. The how ya doin is made for the accepted people.

YUP, so many essays, slightly nervous about getting them all done. Also questioning whether my choices are a good idea - my GPA is pretty gnarly but experience & GRE scores are good, hoping I haven’t shot myself in the foot by not applying to the Island schools this time around...
This chart from the vmcas site says how many OOS seats each school has and then you can go from there and look at what each school looks at and if they care about more than numbers and you can see their average stats.
My dog was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer a little before apps were due so I was definitely distracted the whole month of September. Most stressed I’ve ever been. Totally feel you.As if application shenanigans aren’t stressful enough, let’s add osteosarcoma to the mix

Agreed! I actually almost didn’t submit my apps because I was so broken. I didn’t care about anything else but her but since she was the major motivator in my path to veterinary medicine, I said I’d do right by her and press on! We’re about 8 months post dx. She doesn’t know she’s ill, so we treat everyday as a blessing and act as if everything is normal!
YUP, working on organizing my thoughts and essays...
One more vmcas essay and on to my supplementals...phew gotta send my drafts in to a friend.
Thank you this is really helpful!
Do NOT come across as generic. A lot of people, the majority I’d wager, are afraid to talk themselves up because they don’t want to seem full of themselves. However, this is the point of an application: to make yourself stand out. Don’t say things like “it’s been my dream since I was 6 years old to be a veterinarian.” There’s not a ton of money in the field, there’s a ton of schooling involved, and we don’t get the respect we deserve from a lot of people when we graduate. Obviously we’re going into the field because it’s our dream/passion/calling/*insert generic word*. Don’t explain how badly you want this. Tell a story that shows how DEDICATED you are. Dedication to the field is important, and you should describe that rather than explain how much you like animals.
I’m also stuck here
This might be a good time to ask those close to you what they think makes you different, and you can evaluate their merits there. I have trouble seeing some of my attributes as "diverse", but I've spoken to a few other students and other professionals who were able to point out a few that I hadn't thought of.
Lol the cheapest one you can get into.

It varies. Anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks. The recommendation is to submit your application about a month before the deadline, but if you absolutely can’t then that’s fine. It’s just to give yourself a large buffer in case there’s something off with your app so you can fix it before the deadline.
