Starting this thread bc I haven’t seen one yet! I just had my interview, I think it went well🤞Who else applying?
Great! My interviewer said the committee supposed to meet next week, so hopefully after that we will hear something. 🤞Me!! I interviewed 8/11 and am still waiting for a response. Good luck!
Nothing yet 😅 it's been a long 4 weeks lolWhoever already had interviews, did you get any response? The “waiting game” already worries me lol
Oh boy , it was moving so fast: submitted, verified, email from SGU, interview, all in a matter of about 10 days, now 3 weeks passed - nothing. Oh well, maybe no good news are good news? LOLNothing yet 😅 it's been a long 4 weeks lol
Yes, was crazy worried, first interview for vet school, but interviewer was a nice young woman, alumni, her first words were we are just getting to know each other, nothing to worry about, simple questions, I asked her about school, was very pleasant conversation for about an hour, of course I still had jitters after. Just be yourself.Wow!! Did you interview for the Fall 2023? I just submitted an application for SGU as well, I need to mentally prepare for an interview hahaahah
That’s awesome though! I submitted on 8/31 and got an interview invite about 6 days later… to think I was surprised at the speed of mine 😂just submitted the VMCAS application yesterday....and got an interview invitation today morning?! didn't expect they would move this fast
I applied last year, and they notified me by email. The interview is conducted with an alumni from SGU, so you are put in contact with that doctor and arrange a time for the interview, at least that's how mine worked.I submitted mine on the 15th. Just so I know, for the people who have already done an interview/been asked for one, how do they reach out to you for an interview? By email/phone number or another way?
Yep , same is this year.I applied last year, and they notified me by email. The interview is conducted with an alumni from SGU, so you are put in contact with that doctor and arrange a time for the interview, at least that's how mine worked.
Yes you should be able to wait until that date for all the schoolsI got an interview invite! If I were to get an acceptance from SGU shortly after my interview, would I still have until around April 15th to accept the offer?
Best of luck! Just take your time responding to questions and be yourself. You've got this!I got an interview as well! It's set for this Thursday, I'm nervous and excited.
I had my interview about a week ago and my interviewer said we are lucky since we are so early in the batch of interviews and that we will definitely have an answer before Halloween!Just got done with my interview! I liked that it was a bit more casual, but now I’m ready to hurry up and wait 😂
My interview was a month ago, still waiting for results 😅I had my interview about a week ago and my interviewer said we are lucky since we are so early in the batch of interviews and that we will definitely have an answer before Halloween!
On week 6 post interview, hoping for a response soon! My interviewer said last cycle decisions took between 4 and 6 weeks, but the general admissions email I received afterwards was up to 12 weeks. Best of luck to everyone!!My interview was a month ago, still waiting for results 😅
Because I deferred. So my timeline was I applied on the deadline in September, received an email interview in October, interview in November and heard back in December. So it’s okay if it takes awhile as the committee meets randomlyDid you hear today or is this because you deferred SGU prior?
It’s a closed book interview so the interviewers know nothing about you. You have to really sell yourself. I kept in mind my strengths and weaknesses, and what I would bring diversity wise to the campus. Make sure to bring questions about the school and the interviewer themselves.Does anyone have tips for the interview? I’m not sure how to prepare in the event I’m offered one, so I’d love to hear how others have prepped!
That is super helpful! Thank you so much ☺️It’s a closed book interview so the interviewers know nothing about you. You have to really sell yourself.

I can't say much as he was not who interviewed me, but typically all interviewers are SGU vet med alumni. Hope that helps!Does anyone know anything about Dr. Conor Gallagher? He's my interviewer and I can't find him on LinkedIn or anything. I'd like to learn a little something about him in order to prep
It looks like he’s a recent graduate of the university and he’s from PA. He’s a small animal vet working at a blue pearl emergency centerDoes anyone know anything about Dr. Conor Gallagher?

I submitted early (8/2) and got an email about an interview on 8/5How long did it take for you all to hear back about an interview? I was verified at the start of the month through VMCAS and the only email I've gotten was the "You will receive an update on the status of your application once your application is complete and verified."
My interview email came about 8 hours after the email from vmcas saying my application was verifiedHow long did it take for you all to hear back about an interview?

I highly recommend looking carefully at all of your experiences (vet, animal, volunteer) prior to and familiarizing yourself with those. Interviews are closed book or blind meaning the interviewer only knows your name and that you made it to the interview stage! This is one thing I wish I would have done prior to mine since it had been a while since looking at my app. Other than that, be honest about any grade discrepancies and show them who you are Also come up with a few questions to ask them after the fact.Application was verified this morning and I was also offered an interview today!!! Super excited/nervous. For those of you who had your interview already, do you have any questions I should prepare to ask/be asked?
Ohh gotcha yeah mine didn’t talk about getting drunk with professors but she did talk about running into them at a pizza place lol. I guess just talking to a former student is just going to be less formal than an admissions committee in general.I mean I definitely think that the questions themselves were pretty formal/standard but my interviewer was talking about getting drunk with his professors at the bars at the end lol so the whole thing wasn't super formal
I had my interview yesterday and was told it would take 4 to 8 weeks to hear.Anyone who's interviewed heard back yet? Just had mine today and already nervous lol. Went pretty well but I just was curious how long it's taken to hear back if anyone has!
Thank you! Figured it would be more hurry up and wait. I hope you get in!I had my interview yesterday and was told it would take 4 to 8 weeks to hear.
My interviewer said January but I have no idea if he just made that up randomly or not 😂Anyone who's interviewed heard back yet? Just had mine today and already nervous lol. Went pretty well but I just was curious how long it's taken to hear back if anyone has!
Thanks! You too! The wait will be hard but she made it seem like it definitely wouldn’t be longer than 8 weeks so hopefully that’s true because it could be worse lol.Thank you! Figured it would be more hurry up and wait. I hope you get in!
Just more waiting I guess! 😅My interviewer said January but I have no idea if he just made that up randomly or not 😂
Thank you! I definitely agree. I kinda like that they start reviewing apps as soon as they come in. Hoping mine goes well since SGU is one of my top picks!Thanks! You too! The wait will be hard but she made it seem like it definitely wouldn’t be longer than 8 weeks so hopefully that’s true because it could be worse lol.
My 8-week mark is this coming Monday, fingers crossed!!Thanks! You too! The wait will be hard but she made it seem like it definitely wouldn’t be longer than 8 weeks so hopefully that’s true because it could be worse lol.
