I am OOS applying to their dual degree program!
Please enlighten us about the school! I love Rebecca Haley! She is sooo sweet!I just finished first year, and I'd be happy to try to answer any questions about the school or the area if you guys have any
Actually I am going out to visit the school and check out Pullman and Moscow this weekend! Will report back. There's some good info on the school in the "factors to choose from" thread that's pinned in this forum, I was reading that. The few recent vet school grads I've talked to have had really good things to say about the school - I really like the fact that all the classes are pass/fail, to encourage more of a community rather than competition.
What makes you say you think its the best fit?
Please let us know about the campus!
My goal is to join global medicine/Veterinary missionary program. Also I have worked with the same therapeutic equine program in the past.
My gut is also telling me that WSU is a good fit but you never know
Are you applying for their research scholars program? I thought those applications were done during 1st year.
No, I am applying to their dual degree DVM/PhD program.
Any particular questions you have?
Just about the area, the school in general, etc etc etc? lolAny particular questions you have?
I think we've talked quite a bit about the area in other WSU application threads. Reading through those might be worthwhile!
Where they at the Utah campus by chance? I know they can't switch. Cause otherwise I'm pretty sure the school helps you through the process to make sure you can if you want to do it.
I looked at the WSU page - looks like OOS students who start at the Logan campus pay OOS all 4 years? That must have been what they did.
Yeah, those are the only OOS students I know that aren't allowed to switch.
What's the benefit to starting at Logan and raking up more debt, rather than just applying to the Pullman campus? That seems really odd that anyone would choose to do that when literally every other student gets a tuition break.
I think the OOS students at Logan was just a way to increase the class size?
The OOS that start at Logan get a tuition waiver all four years I think? I think it's only like $30k over the four years, but still helps a bit. Still looking at well over $200k in loans though.
) and just focus on trying to have strong statements for the app to make it as strong as it can be
I think the Hilltop is supposed to be nice. Moscow has Sangria and Maialina (fancy pizza place) now, and I've heard the restaurant inside Best Western is nice (Seasons Public House). I've been to exactly none of them, so I can't say.
You can check out the class statistics page to get an idea of the scores that accepted students have.Ok, so I'm a first time applicant and I'm in-state so I have a pretty vested interest in WSU. Plus, all the students and recent grads I've talked to have a lot of great things to say about the supportive community. I went to visit earlier this week and got to meet with Stacy (I believe she's a recruiter). It went *really* well, we looked over my transcripts and talked about my experiences and I was told I was a strong applicant and that she looked forward to seeing my application. So that made me feel pretty great.
However, I just got sucked into the "successful 2021 applicants" thread and I noticed a) not that many people included WSU in their application pool and b) a lot of the people who did got rejected. Whats up with that? Seems like there's a strong bias for east coast/mid west schools so I don't know if just less people from the west coast are on this forum, but now I'm more nervous about getting in
Good angle to look at it. I can and feel I articulate all my accomplishments and strengths well as I've gotten scholarships and jobs I've wanted because I can do those things just what me specifically that I could bring to the program at WSU that would dignify me from others it's definitely hard to summarize/figure out what I want to say.It is part of being an adult to be able to articulate what you are good at and can bring to a job. It isn't boasting. It is about displaying what you have accomplished and the strengths you have as an individual. Think of it that way and you will have a much easier time writing essays, putting together a CV and developing interview skills.
300 words per prompt. There are two prompts: one is asking what interests us about their program and the other is asking what we offer their program.
That's essentially what it is, but try to use whatever you talk about to show how you'd be a good fit for the program, what you'd bring to the school, etc.
That's how I'm taking it as well. I'm using my unique hobby to describe the attributes that I think would make me successful at WSU.

Ha, no worries! It's just exactly what I would have said too so I didn't want to ignore it
I honestly have no idea.
Maialina is after my time. I still miss Ferdinand's and want a Sella's massive salad. And the Breakfast Club! Man, I miss Breakfast Club. Aw, I'm getting Moscow homesick again!
