I'm feeling like I have some sort of record for waitlists - currently on 7 :(
OOS alternate for Kansas, Penn, Florida, Tufts, Minnesota, Iowa, and Auburn. Only school I'm still waiting to hear a decision on is Illinois. Hoping my chances of going somewhere are good with this number of waitlists!

I'm starting to feel like waiting to hear back as an alternate is worse than waiting to hear back after applications are submitted. The apprehension... :nailbiting:

I know, that’s the common theme here. But how often would I get the chance to live in another country? I also may be eligible for U.K. resident tuition if I get my citizenship (my mom is a U.K. citizen). After graduating from RVC and taking the NAVLE I’d be certified to practice in the U.K., the rest of Europe, North America, and Australia. It’s hard to put a price tag on the experience and life changing opportunities that will open up for me from living abroad.

I know for Ireland you have to have either lived in the EU 3 out of the last 5 years, gone to 5 years of primary or secondary school in the EU AND have not gone to any sort of college yet, or you’re under 23 and your parents have lived in the EU for 3 if the past 5 years to get EU tuition for UCDublin so definitely actually contact the school and see if you are actually eligible if you get your citizenship because I know I’m not eligible for Dublin even though I’m a citizen.

You're definitely lucky to have that opportunity. I would go to the Caribbean or Australia if it weren't for the fact that I have an elderly dog :(

For the U.K. I just have to be a citizen. I am eligible for citizenship because my mom was a citizen when I was born. The question is how quickly can I get my citizenship. Will it take one year or three to do all the paperwork? If I were a citizen, tuition would be about $12,000 a year so huge savings. I think the UK has weird laws because they don’t follow all of the rules of the EU. That’s rad you’re an EU citizen tho!

I feel like if I don’t choose the RVC it will be a decision I regret for the rest of my life. But it’s also kinda scary leaving the country. I also like their pathway to specializing. You get a masters and do an intercalated year with your degree instead of internship / residency. During my interview I met an RVC grad who did that and is now board certified and practicing in the US.

Ugh it’s all so overwhelming. I have a lot to think about.

Oh really? That’s interesting that you just have to be a citizen. I would’ve thought you would have had to live there for a certain amount of time as a citizen and be paying taxes and stuff. That’s cool if you actually ARE able to get that, but make sure you get it in writing from the school if you haven’t already just so that you can be like “no no you told me this was all I needed to do”

I meeeean, I'm leaning towards Edinburgh so I hear ya. But that is (crazily) my cheapest school. I asked about UK tuition and the answer is probably no for me. I am an EU citizen (French) but because I've been living outside of Europe for the two years preceding vet school I have to pay US tuition. The specialization path looks really intriguing.

Waitlisted @ Iowa & Kansas. Really hoping for Iowa for low OOS tuition but as this is my second time applying, I’ll be perfectly happy at any, including LMU who announces decisions on March 15th I believe. Anyone have any advice for moving OOS last minute if it comes to that?

So just a heads up, Iowa lists their tuition by semester so it is ~$24,000 times two which makes ~$48,000 per year while Kansas is ~$54,000 a year. $6,000 a year is nothing to sneeze at but it isn't as huge of a difference as it seems at first glance.

Considering that’s at least $18,000 less for just the first three years I’d say that’s pretty significant. But like I said, I’d be happy with any! Iowa is at least cheaper than my in state (Tufts) but I don’t want to go there anyways.

Isn't Iowa's tuition $52,500 per year (year 1-3) for OOS students?

(I think 4th year is ~19.6k per semester on that chart for OOS, not ~11k. But there is also summer semester you’d have to pay I think?)

For those of you with cost related questions/comparisons, if you go to the AVMA website, they have all the veterinary schools listed with costs. They even compare costs based on semesters as well as what it costs to attend there for all 4 years. I have found this very helpful in the decision process!

It won't let me post a link (haven't been active enough on here), but if you google AVMA Vet school tuition costs and click the link that brings you to the AVMA website it should bring you straight there!

Probably because students abuse the system and get their dogs certified as ESA dogs when they really aren't :whistle:
(it's not just SGU, it was a huge problem at Ross too...don't get me started lol)

I believe the Ross student body made a collective decision to stop doing it. But SGU still does. I'm not for abusing the system in general. But a flight full of vet students and dogs? I can't help but love it.

Waitlisted at Western and Kansas. Not stressing too much because I was accepted to AVC. But if I get called off the waitlist for Kansas, I'll definitely go there. Looooved PEI, but it would be easier for the SO to find a job in Kansas. Not giving up my waitlist spot at Western, just to keep my options open, but I think I will end up giving it up. Fingers crossed! Good luck everybody!
