OOS rejection :/
Same here!!! I wish it was all at once 😭😭😭 my friends also haven’t received anythingI haven’t gotten any email! Freaking out!
I got the initial email at 3:04PM and then a follow up at 3:36PM. Not sure if they’ve updated the portal but they probably didn’t. Last year i was rejected and they didn’t update it until August 2023May I ask what time it came in?

Same, I have 10k+ varied veterinary hours and one of my recs that I worked with closely is faculty at tOSU and I know it was a strong one so I don't even really know how to improve on what they say they value for next year if I don't get in anywhere elsePlease someone share stats. Because at this point. I fit every school I applied to “competitive” profile that’s on their website and now i just feel messed with, that i can’t even obtain an interview
That’s how I feel. Only have 2 schools left and they were my “long shot “ schools. I have about under 500 hours of vet experience but worked with small animal, companion, wildlife, farm animals. Leader of a club, apart of many clubs, volunteer and do so much, a 3.8 gpa and 3.7 science gpa. I know i can get more hours but who’s to say that’ll get me in next cycle.Same, I have 10k+ varied veterinary hours and one of my recs that I worked with closely is faculty at tOSU and I know it was a strong one so I don't even really know how to improve on what they say they value for next year if I don't get in anywhere else
The cool thing with tOSU is that they have PDF form file reviews with strong and weak areas of your application checked off. My GPA wasn’t very strong so they marked that for me, however, they’re also very big on volunteering so perhaps that could help for next year if you have to reapply?Same, I have 10k+ varied veterinary hours and one of my recs that I worked with closely is faculty at tOSU and I know it was a strong one so I don't even really know how to improve on what they say they value for next year if I don't get in anywhere else
Maybe! I have a hundred or so outside of it but most of my volunteering has been animal related so I guess that is something. I have a hair or so above a 3.0 across the board for cGPA, science, and last 45 so it could be that it was just too low as well.The cool thing with tOSU is that they have PDF form file reviews with strong and weak areas of your application checked off.

i haven’t eitherAnyone still not receive an email? I double checked my portal and everything is completed so idk why I haven’t heard anything.
Feel exactly the same way :/ it’s just so competitive I don’t even know what to do to change my application except maybe cure cancer 😭Please someone share stats. Because at this point.

honestly it’s more like a lottery at this pointFeel exactly the same way :/ it’s just so competitive I don’t even know what to do to change my application except maybe cure cancer 😭
Yeah it’s probably GPA. tOSU looks at science GPA, overall GPA, and last 30 GPA, all of which were checked for me to improve on 💀 Also probably didn’t help that my last grade going into last years cycle was an F. But there’s always room for improvement! Compared to others on here I have a lower GPA so it’s still possible!Maybe!

thats What i don’t get tho.

While a good GPA does help its not everything, especially for tOSU since they tend to be more holistic. For tOSU, all GPAs (overall, science, last 30) account for only 10% of your score when your application is being evaluated. Other schools weigh GPA higher so you may have a better time with them, like Cornell which weighs GPA at 50% or Tufts which weighs GPA at 34%I’m so
thats What i don’t get tho. I have a 3.8 gpa and a 3.7 science gpa so i just don’t get jt
Will say I had a good gpa around 3.5, and a 3.3 science, and maybe a 3.8 last 45 gpa but we rejected my first cycle for my personal statement. I don’t attend OSU but once I change my personal statement the next cycle I got an interview and accepted.I’m so

Can i ask what feedback you got from your personal statement?Will say I had a good gpa around 3.5, and a 3.3 science, and maybe a 3.8 last 45 gpa but we rejected my first cycle for my personal statement.

So there’s lots of things they compare on
