It’s 85 where I am at in FL. We get summer and summer jr. with just a hint of fall. Experiencing the seasons would be nice.

Texas is playing Russian roulette with the weather. Texas goes through two seasons in a day.

Out of curiosity, is anyone currently taking 1 or 2 classes to fulfill the prerequisite requirements? I was emailed back in the Fall after my application was first reviewed if I could re-take two courses because my school's course did not meet their full requirement. Does anyone know if that usually happens? I am just super anxious that not having a "complete" prereq on my application puts me way down on the list, but then I also feel like, why would they ask me to retake the courses?

Too funny! I'm in River Falls, so west-central Wisconsin 😊. And to answer your question on prereqs I had one when I was applying (physics 1) but finished that last semester.

I am finishing up genetics and anatomy because my previous courses weren’t considered compatible. So I got an email asking if I would retake the courses. Then I was told my application was back in the pool for consideration. I suppose because it is down to final hour I’m getting myself worked up! 😂
 
my gpa is just at the cutoff so unless my essays pull through im dreading this email notification :(

Honestly, I figuring I will be getting another reject. This is my last school out of 8. Pretty sure I will get same result as the other 7.

Remember, it only takes ONE yes! Hold your head high, this is a long and mentally exhausting road. You have come this far. Be proud! I am a little over the cutoffs. My last 45 is a 3.53 and my cum science is 3.24 (without these two courses). Currently I have A in both classes, but they aren't exactly doing me any good at the moment.

From what I understood in the Facebook group (low GPA page), if your cum science GPA fell below a 2.8, they cut those applications back in the fall.

Currently waitlisted at my IS and I don't feel confident about Iowa's decision tonight... besides this I am waiting on 2 others. My stats are identical to yours 😅, I have a slightly higher science but honestly that's kinda freaky!

Oh great. I’m not alone then. I have been making myself sick over taking these courses. Not to mention, taking genetics and anatomy at the same time stinks. 😂 What better way to prepare you for vet school? 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have been staring at this one physics homework problem for awhile now and just thinking to myself when am I EVER going to need to know how long a beam of protons should be in order to deliver a required amount of energy? Like what?!

You’ll only need it for your 3 unit exams, and your final

I looked at admission stats from previous years and they are known for accepting low GPAs/GPAs near the cutoff. They also are known for waitlisting A LOT of students (200+ I believe) and their waitlist is notorious for moving A LOT every year. Don’t lose hope! I think last year they were accepting people off the waitlist in the 180s

does anyone know if they release waitlist ranks before April?

So if we do not receive an acceptance letter today than it’s safe to assume that you have been placed on alt list?

Not necessarily. You'll get a decision today (so acceptance, alternate, rejection), but you'll get your waitlist rank mid-late March.

I think they’ll tell you where you’re at either way but just don’t release ranks til later
