awwww I was really hoping when I hadn't heard back from you that it meant you hadn't been rejected yet
You and me both. Yahoo was just trying to protect my feelings by trying to hide it

Yeah.... lol I thought it was cause that was my weakest point hahaDid y'alls rejection tell you your GRE scores? I thought that was odd

mine said mine too, but it definitely wasnt my weakest point. I thought it was odd too...Did y'alls rejection tell you your GRE scores? I thought that was odd
I'm OOS, so that might be one for meMy GRE was 309 but I got an interview (IS). I wonder if I just made the cut off....
mine was a bit higher than that but im OOS, which usually has higher averages because it's more people for less seatsMy GRE was 309 but I got an interview (IS). I wonder if I just made the cut off....
Thank You!! I also have a high GPA so that might have helped with the crappy score as well.mine was a bit higher than that but im OOS, which usually has higher averages because it's more people for less seats
but CONGRATS ON YOUR INTERVIEW YOURE GONNA KILL IT!!!!!
Did you just get an e-mail about it or did you find out a while ago?
I know you guys haven't even had your interviews yet, but I just wanted to update that I will be declining my acceptance to UF (I haven't yet because it's a hard reality to face), so someone should be pulled off the waitlist pretty fast.
Hey, congrats on you decision! I know it was difficult, but I'm happy you did what was best for you.
Mine went really well! I had very friendly interviewers and I was not "grilled," like so many other people I have talked to in the past. Everything was very relaxed and conversational, which was a pleasant surprise.how did everyone's interviews go this past saturday??
That's awesome congrats! Did you have any UF faculty? from what i've heard they seem to be more tough than the 2nd non uf clinicianMine went really well!

Thanks. No, I only had 2 non UF clinicians and a current student.That's awesome congrats! Did you have any UF faculty? from what i've heard they seem to be more tough than the 2nd non uf clinician
It was very conversational and relaxed. Really low stress environment!how did everyone's interviews go this past saturday??
This is just a general tip that I kept telling myself with all of my interviews. Go in with a smile and show your interviewers who you really are. Of course there are going to be some nerves, but try to be as much of your normal self as you can so your interviewers get a sense of what your personality adds to the program. I just thought it would be silly to be so anxious about an interview and waste those *precious* 30-45 minutes I have with the interviewers. Oh, I also recommend reviewing the old questions on here. For some reason my interview was much more conversational than a Q/A session (definitely not what I was expecting from everything I've heard about UF interviews), but some of the other applicants interviewing at the same time told me that they were asked recycled questions. Just be candid with things, it'll make you more relatable than giving them answers they are expecting to hear. Good luck--you're going to do great!!Interviewing this weekend any tips from those that already had theirs?
Thank you very much! I have heard that its a tough one, so I am pretty nervous. My other interview was like a 30 minute conversation, I enjoyed it but I am not sure how much it prepared me for this one!This is just a general tip that I kept telling myself with all of my interviews.

That's how my other interview was too. I was not sure what to expect at Uf's, but it was just as conversational.Thank you very much! I have heard that its a tough one, so I am pretty nervous.

Does anybody know when we should get final decisions??
If your flight gets cancelled WHILE you're at the airport, CALL the airline, don't wait at the gate counter for them to rebook you in a line of 50 people. Calling the airline should hopefully get you quicker service than waiting in the line. Or if whatever airline you're on has an app (I know Delta does), I think you can sometimes rebook yourself through those too, which can be faster than calling especially if there's a ton of cancellations due to a storm.Why is it every time I try to fly, there's a giant snow storm?! I'm flying out tomorrow for the Saturday interview because I KNEW something like this was going to happen, and I wanted an extra buffer day to be sure. I just hope it doesn't get flat out canceled then I have to scramble to find a new flight that hasn't already been booked.

I'm not sure why vet schools have such a late admissions process... It's during the worst time of year for traveling too. Safe travels, though, and good luck at your interview!So fed up with traveling in winter.

Do you know where I can find the old UF interview questions on here? I've been looking for them, but I can't find them.

But now you get to enjoy the awesome Florida weather!Landed safely, thanks for those of you who were asking after me.
Thank you!https://schools.studentdoctor.net/s...y-of-florida-college-of-veterinary-medicine/0
click on the Questions tab and it'll expand to show a bunch of old questions
@Coopah when did you interview? I was there too!
The school is impressive and beautiful, and the students were so helpful!
I was in the 2pm group. You?
So because of a storm up north, I'm stuck in Florida until TUESDAY. My husband and I have to take time off from work. Thankfully we're not in a hotel but staying with my parents so we don't have to pay for that but holy cow this snow is a pain in the butt!
I was at 4pm! Hope your interview went well! Im so sorry you're stuck in Florida! At least you get to spend some time with your parents... in amazing weather!
Welcome to the south, we don't do cold. I'm from Georgia so while we don't quite get as hot we definitely don't know what 'cold' is. At least there's never any snow to shovel, and if there ever is any snow the entire town shuts down.Yeah the weathers nice, well it's a little hot for me tbh but it's only winter. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with outside of new England weather from now on...
Was anyone else's interview not conversational? Mine wasn't bad but my interviewers pretty much stuck to the script of questions. It's making me nervous lol
The admissions director told my group 2-3 weeks and it would be through email.Anyone that interviewed this weekend did they say when they may have decisions?
