I didn’t get a lot of feedback from OSU on it. They do a very brief file review and one of the major points was from my essay. I heard back from other schools that my PS didn’t fit the prompt and didn’t convey why I wanted to be a vet
You mentioned that you have under 500 hours of vet experience, I would say that may be a big factor. Every school is different of course but some schools I've talked to said that 500 is average and 1000 is competitive. Trust me, I get the frustration. I have fairly good stats and I've been rejected from 3 schools so far. The reality of it is they only have a certain amount of seats and they have to make difficult cuts. I would focus on trying to get more hours and start prepping to reapply next year. You've got this!
Hey! I have an interview coming up, do you know after getting an interview what the odds are of getting in? Also I was checking on the site but couldn't get a clear answer, what's available in terms of exotics and reproductive health for classes?
This may seem like a silly question, but do any veterinary interviews require fresh resumes to be readily available to give to the interviewer(s)?
I sent an email but haven’t heard anything…
Ironically they just got back to me on the same question. They didn’t give specifics but they said by April 🙃

Fr 😭I think they just said April cause they don't wanna commit to a date. A few schools I have asked the same question had the same answer so idk anymore! But looking at last years forum, a lot of people started hearing back in early February so its probably gonna be between February and March if I had to guess. It's also probably dependent on what day you're scheduled to interview 🤷♂️Bruh by April? The deadline to accept on offer is April 15th they better get back to us before then

I have mine scheduled on the first date in January. I’ll let y’all know if i hear anything 🙏🏻
to give some perspective on what type of odds there are for getting in, i know that they will narrow down the 530+ interviewees down to a class of ~165 with it being pretty evenly split between IS and OOS (i think it is about 45% and 55% respectively but varies per year of course). the interview accounts for about 60% of your final decision with grades being 10% and every other aspect of your application being 30%. As for your question about classes, we for sure learn about repro within our normal courses and exotics will be electives taken later in the curriculum. If I find the course directory I can PM it to you!
no you do not need a fresh resume! Just be sure to highlight your experiences during the interview
You have to contact their admissions team and they’ll send you a two page form regarding your application
I don’t think incoming first years are intended to complete the scholarship universe application.
Their website says that fall transcripts are not required! It says that applicants who are offered a seat will need to submit their official transcripts, though!
Awesome, thank you!!
Traditional.
I am interviewing in about 30 minutes and they sent an email with a zoom link on the 17th!
Good luck!!
Good luck! My interviewers were really nice and made me relaxed!
Mine were the opposite 😭
Oh no! What happened!? You can pm if you want 😢
Mine were the opposite
I am not the OP, and mine were great, but they were retired graduates that have been in practice for 30-40 years each! So, they were not faculty or officially affilitated with tOSU beyond being interviewers. They did mention they do it every year, though
So I probably will not be able to ask them OSU specific questions because they won’t know right 😂
yeah, sadly not. They spoke about the environment and the support but couldn’t answer anything regarding their curriculum or current state.So I probably will not be able to ask them OSU specific questions because they won’t know right 😂
That’s unfortunate
