Same here! I just submitted my masters app so let's hope to that.It’s depressing how quiet this forum is now hoping that May brings unexpected good news!! Gosh I’m like a hopeless romantic when it comes to vet school haha
June 15When is the deadline to apply for the masters at LMU?
Good luck at Midwestern and congrats!!I will be relinquishing my seat at LMU as I was offered a position at Midwestern! I hope one of you gets the spot - you all clearly deserve it. Best of luck!!!
Idk why it feels like it’s much slower this year than last :/Any movement lately? It’s been a little too quiet
I’ve been thinking the same..Idk why it feels like it’s much slower this year than last :/
I think that would only apply if you got accepted or applied again!This is so depressing lol but I am still holding out hope!
Quick question for ya'll though: Though we are students on the waitlist, are we required to send in transcripts from this semester? My spring 2018 grades are in as I just graduated undergrad and was unsure whether or not they needed to be mailed to LMU.
Hey! Quick question, if you don't mind me asking. Is there any sort of essay prompt or guidelines for the Master's Program Personal Statement? I can't seem to find it anywhere if there is one. Or did you just write a personal statement and email it to them?Mine was a good page !
It’s basically just a personal statement of why the MS program would benefit you at LMU. and I emailed it to them afterHey! Quick question, if you don't mind me asking.

I was literally just about to post this! haha I even went on the VMCAS login page and was like uhhh nope, not ready for this againIs anyone else putting off starting their new application in hopes that by some miracle we get called off the waitlist soon? I reallllllllllly don’t want to go through this whole process again
My experience and transcripts were still there when I logged in and you just have to confirm them.I was literally just about to post this! haha I even went on the VMCAS login page and was like uhhh nope, not ready for this again
but I did have a question regarding what VMCAS transfers over... I do know that you have to ask your LOR's to submit their letters again but what about experience, transcripts and GRE scores?

Yeah, the only thing that I would have to add would be a Master's degree in Veterinary Biomedical Sciences...I hope that's enough. Cause I'm not planning on retaking the GRE (unless I absolutely have too) and I don't have much time to add any more experiences on my app cause of work (which is at an animal clinic so Im getting more hours that way)Haha, same here. I logged in and then closed my laptop! This will actually be my 3rd time applying. If it is the same as last year, it transfers basically everything except LORs and your essays, but it gives you the option to go back and edit or add to it! As far as transcript entry goes, it saves everything from last cycle, but you have to enter any new coursework and resend all your transcripts for verification purposes. I can't remember if I had to resend my GRE scores or not.
In my case, I added a ton of experiences/improved grades between my first application and second. The first time I applied was more of a test run, and I only applied to my IS school was rejected. This year I applied to my IS, LMU, and Auburn, and was waitlisted at both my IS and LMU but rejected from Auburn. I'm kind of stuck on this application cycle though, because I don't have much to add other than last semester's coursework to strengthen my app
You don’t have to resend transcripts if you haven’t taken any more classes at that school. If you have, they obviously need updated transcripts. For this past cycle, I didn’t have to resend my gre scores if they had a vmcas gre code. Individual schools had said they needed to be resent but they still showed as received in vmcas with the original date and I called vmcas and they said they were fine. If you want to double check the gre with vmcas, you can always call or email them if you want word specifically from them.As far as transcript entry goes, it saves everything from last cycle, but you have to enter any new coursework and resend all your transcripts for verification purposes.

Branch out!!!!!! Apply to schools who look at last 45 (I’m assuming that’s better than your cumulative based on your post, but I don’t know your numbers). If you retook classes, apply to schools that replace the grade. If you didn’t do so hot on the gre, apply to schools that either don’t look at it or it’s not a huge percentage of their admissions formula. Apply to schools that fit your strengths, even if online they may not sound like your dream school. You really don’t know how much you’re going to like a school until you’re there and a student.In my case, I added a ton of experiences/improved grades between my first application and second.

Yeah I was definitely looking into schools that don't look at GRE which is quite a few now. I heard ohio state is doing away with it?You don’t have to resend transcripts if you haven’t taken any more classes at that school. If you have, they obviously need updated transcripts.

I’m a strong believer in “go to the cheapest school”I got an offer this morning at about 9am, they are giving me until 9am tomorrow morning to make my decision. I may not accept, as I am already in at Iowa State. Here's to not sleeping tonight! Wish they gave a little more time to think!
haha I might honestly flip a coin! There are things I love about both schools. Its a tough decision to make in 24 hours.I’m a strong believer in “go to the cheapest school”
It’s obviously ultimately your choice though.
Have you made a pro con list for each school? Might help a bit.
Ooooor you could use my tried and true method of flipping a coin. Heads is Iowa State, tails is Lmu. If you’re disappointed in the outcome, go to the other option.

@FutureDogtor would you mind sharing your stats?haha I might honestly flip a coin! There are things I love about both schools. Its a tough decision to make in 24 hours.
I chose Iowa State, so I declined my offer! I was in too deep at Iowa to let it go (tuition deposit and money down on an apartment), I wish LMU caught me a week sooner! It was really hard to pass up, a piece of my heart broke, it really is a wonderful school in such a peaceful area!& your decision is..?
Sure!@FutureDogtor would you mind sharing your stats?
GOOD LUCKMy reaction when I am in the process of starting a new VMCAS Application:
(Hope is still there that I get into LMU tho!!!)
Definitely!Anyone else gonna do a file review??
Same!!I feel like their email was a little encouraging because there is still some hope but in the meantime, I’m anxious to hear the feedback from the file review!!
Yay!!! As for your question I am staying in campus at least for my first year. It's safe, easy and that year will give me a chance to get to know the area for the possibility of off campus housing in case I get accepted in the DVM degree the next year.I am!!!
Me too!Just got my acceptance to the Veterinary Biomedical Science master so I'll definitely go with that if I don't get an acceptance e-mail. Anyone else here attending the master?
I’m super confused why they would kick us off the waitlist.So I received a rejection email today from LMU (I was on the waitlist). They said that it was the biggest waitlist they've had. Glad for the honesty and I feel like I can really plan for next year without hoping I still have a chance of getting in. Congrats to everyone accepted and good luck to those still on the waitlist!
Did you receive the same email?I’m super confused why they would kick us off the waitlist.
Yep, did you get one also?Did you receive the same email?
I did not. Did you already do a file review? I’m wondering if it’ll come after that.Yep, did you get one also?
I just was in contact with holly last week about my file review. It’s not till next Tuesday.I did not. Did you already do a file review? I’m wondering if it’ll come after that.
Then I really don’t understand..I just was in contact with holly last week about my file review. It’s not till next Tuesday.

At first I thought it was a mistake.I got the same email. I have never heard of being rejected off the waitlist before.
So did I, I’m extremly confused.At first I thought it was a mistake.
