Yea I know, I was just pointing out how they ended up telling (not telling?) people. Which was really messed up.
They replied to me and said, “At the moment, we are not sending out any more acceptances. Further acceptances will be sent out at the discretion of the admissions committee.”
Is this in the packet? I still haven't gotten mine in the mail yet.
Congrats to all those accepting a seat with LMU! It truly is an amazing school, inside and out.
Seriously? You do know students sitting in class with you with high gpa’s just got waitlisted (or even rejected)? I’m super happy for anyone that got accepted. Seriously, you worked hard and deserve it, but the likelihood of getting through the program and getting accepted is low (there are maybe 15 out of the 40 of us?). That was the point of my previous posts. You have to have an A in anatomy or an A in all your other classes because...math. Don’t forget it’s a money making school. Do not be one of the zealots, be logical and give others sound advice. Again, sooo happy for so many people to day, but my heart is breaking for others.Hey all!!! Current veterinary master's student here. I was lucky enough to be accepted today into LMU CVM today and obviously I am ecstatic about it! But this program was NOT easy in the slightest, and it's still not over yet for myself until graduation in May! But is it worth it? 100%!
To say the least, this program is amazing and I absolutely love it!!! It really teaches you how to become a better student and give you that "second" chance for vet school. The staff is amazing, along with the professors and they genuinely care about you succeeding as a student.
I do want to clarify some things that were mentioned earlier about the program... First, you do NOT need an A in anatomy to get an interview with LMU CVM, just a fall 3.0 GPA. Also, yes the classes are hard but NOT impossible in any way. It is possible to pass and succeed, I promise. Just work your butt off harder than you ever have and never give up within the process. Also, for the club thing, yes as master's students we are not permitted to join any clubs because we are not vet students and are therefore not insured among whatever program is a part of the club. So if something were to happen during a wet lab or anything else, we would not be insured and LMU would be liable. That's just an example. But to be honest, there are ways to stay involved with CVM stuff if you'd really like. My favorite thing about this program is that it allows you to get ahead and take anatomy with the first year vet students! You learn SO much in that class and is super beneficial for your future.
Also, for those of you waitlisted it is not the end of the road!! There are PLENTY of people waitlisted that end up getting off especially after that April 15th deadline so don't lose hope. And for those of you that are waitlisted or rejected, there is always this program to help you out too. And I can vouge that it works. Anyone who has specific questions about the program, please feel free to DM me and I will help ya out
For the record, I was waitlisted last year and interviewed NOT IN THE MS PROGRAM...so what was the point in dragging my family to the sticks and coming up with less of a shot this year than last year?
Last year, they did.
Nothing here! I think they are waiting until after the deadline.

Nobody but yourself can decide if the debt of going OOS to vet school is worth it. If you don’t think you can handle the debt and don’t think it’s worth it, that’s okay. It’s better to make that determination BEFORE you start school and take out loans. If you do think it’s worth it and there’s nothing else you’d rather do, that’s fine too, you just have to be willing to take on that kind of debt. For me, it was worth it to go OOS (I’m not at LMU though). I tried two cycles and wasn’t successful at my in state. I couldnt see myself doing anything else for the rest of my life, and I did explore other options. Some people refuse to apply to any schools other than their IS because of the debt and wouldn’t go to vet school if they had to go OOS.
For me personally, I do not let money/loans get in the way of my dreams. Unfortunately, money is the pillar to which we live on and there's no avoiding it. If you absolutely cannot see yourself doing anything else besides for being a veterinarian, than the answer is simple. If you can see yourself exploring other career options to which would leave you in significantly lower debt, then you have your answer.
