I believe they will be as there are clubs tabling!I am applying this cycle, but I was wondering if the clubs will be selling merch that people can buy at the open house on the 15th?

It was my first time at the school, and I absolutely loved it.How did everyone like the admitted students days? Sad I couldn't go but interested to hear how everyone liked (or disliked) it! Including the dolphin mating extravaganza lol
Also, how serious is the dress code? Like scrubs vs business professional vs ... casual?

If you follow vetmedflorida on instagram, they’re doing a day in my life with a second year and she said that they wear mostly scrubs, but also business casual, and jeans and a vet med shirt. That’s pretty much what I saw on Preview Day
We can wear scrubs/professional dress/vet med shirt and jeans as @dzmn said. I wish we didn’t have a dress code, but we yes we do. A lot of vet schools have them. I know auburn is professional dress only.I saw that too and that’s why I asked… like I get the professional school thing but also… it’s class… like can I not wear a random t-shirt and shorts? I get we’re not in undergrad and I’m not going in pajamas or workout clothes… but I can’t imagine a shirt from another school or with a brand/tv show is unprofessional
Also good to hear you loved it! Makes me excited

On the prevet pawscast they also said a 2am email is unprofessional… maybe it’s just because I’ve been surrounded by those dismantling the idea of professionalism but this blows lmao. If I’m alone in this I’d be shocked
Also I feel like I know just as many vet schools that don’t have a dress code. Tufts, p sure UGA…
Current student here! Professionalism is encouraged in this graduate program for many reasons! It shows respect to the faculty and the professors who take time from clinics to teach us, showing up in a T-shirt and shorts isn't really preparing you for a profession where you will dress similarly to the dress code at school. Not to say it's a strict dress code, you aren't required to wear UF merch, you can wear other schools' or other logos, so long as there isn't anything vulgar or inappropriate on it. Taking care in our appearance shows that we care about the institution and respect those around us. Honestly, you will love wearing scrubs most days (I know UGA students have to wear navy scrubs for school) and it's super comfy! Professionalism may seem like an inconvenience, but it will prepare you for the career you ultimately chose.

Anyone get off the waitlist this week? I just want to know so can get on with my life lol
maybe this year they're waiting till april?Not that I have heard :/
The clothing you're wearing to attend class will make absolutely no difference in your success as a veterinarian.Professionalism may seem like an inconvenience, but it will prepare you for the career you ultimately chose.
Eh. I think it's an antiquated thing that schools should be moving away from, particularly for times when you're just sitting in a classroom. There are plenty of schools that don't have a classroom dress code at all and I don't think that means their students are unprofessional or disrespectful. Professionalism =/= a particular set of clothing, and there's nothing about wearing something dictated to you that prepares you for being a vet. There's a pretty broad range of typical attire for different careers in the field, and even within the same types of careers depending on where you're working.Current student here!

The one day I’m not at school 😫Anyone at the tour today? Looking for friends I’m on my own.
The one day I’m not at school
Yesss! Happy for you!I ended up finding my people made some friends and exchanged #s. The school and hospitals are sooo beautiful!
There are a lot of things like this in a lot of other forums. Im oos and only got on waitlists this round. From what I've seen each application cycle is so unpredictable that the schools you got accepted into this year might not accept you next year and there's a chance you might not get in anywhere. I saw another girl from colorado in the same dilemma. Accept OOS first cycle or try again for IS to get the cheaper school?Florida resident here! I was super depressed to get denied from UF, but got accepted at some other amazing schools. Currently planning to reapply, but unsure if I will go ahead and attend another veterinary school or wait and see if UF accepted me 2nd time around.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I love attending UF, but I personally wouldn’t risk reapplying and not being accepted anywhere when you have an acceptance. I saw you post in the acceptance thread, I have a friend at LIU and she LOVES it. I would recommend talking to some current students there if you’re unsure.Florida resident here!

Thanks for the information! I'm meeting with some LIU students remotely in a few weeks. My biggest requirement from vet school is keeping my costs as low as possible (since I'm older and I want to pay off my loans asap), to get as much exposure as possible, and go for a school with good NAVLE success rates. LIU is both above my ideal budget, and since they are new so no one has taken the NAVLE. Was also accepted to Western and Dublin. Western again not ideal budget-wise, but good NAVLE %. Dublin is within budget, plenty of experience options, but NAVLE was so-so past few years.I love attending UF, but I personally wouldn’t risk reapplying and not being accepted anywhere when you have an acceptance.

Does anybody have any recommendations on housing? Im out of state and turned in my acceptance form but I believe the woman who is processing everything is out until the 6th...so I haven't received the facebook group link or housing information and want to start looking.

FINGERS CROSSEDFYI OOS waitlist has been slowly moving as spots become available so don't lose hope and look out for that 352 area code!
I’m rooting for you! 🤞They're killing me with these applicant update emails. My adrenaline spikes for them to be only be all, "your alternate status is still active"
I will be declining this offer, I hope someone gets some good news soon! Also, the call had no caller ID!Just got a called and accepted off the waitlist!
