I've been meaning to post but I haven't really done anything worthy of posting! Don't get me wrong, I've been super super... busy- but that's the problem. I haven't had any time to hang out at the vet clinic or to do anything else interesting for that matter. I haven't even had time to start in on my online Animal Nutrition course I signed up for in October-- BAD!!!
I did go to the RenFest in MN at the end of September with a friend. And I've taken over as the leader of the belly dance troupe! We did our first performance at the Homecoming Street Fair on campus the middle of October and I did my first improvised solo! (for a surprisingly large crowd)- this was only my 2nd solo ever. It was a little nerve-wracking...
I had a hellish-nightmare of a time getting ETS PPI evaluations filled out for my app to CSU. So.... many technical difficulties! If you ever need to fill one of these out- send requests to your evaluators as SOON AS POSSIBLE and be prepared to contact the customer service line. We managed to get them in less than a day before their deadline (yikes!).
All other vet apps were submitted by Oct 3rd and my back-up Clinical Laboratory Science apps were sent in by Nov 1st. I got my first vet reply on Nov 10th from Iowa State!!! They offered me an interview--- I have my interview on December 4th (Sunday)!!!!! Exciting!!!! According to the sites I should start hearing from my other schools mid-late December. *fingers crossed* the waiting is the WORST!
Here is a map I made up of all the places I applied for Vet & CLS
I am tentatively on the intent to graduate list for this spring- depending on whether I get into a vet school or not. I picked up my cap & gown this week- also scary!
I will be sure to update on how the interview went and as I get further replies from vet schools. Thanks for keeping tabs on me! I will try to be more attentive to my blog in the future!
CONGRATS on the vet interview!! Sooo exciting, I look forward to hear how it goes! Just out of curiosity, how many vet hours did you list on your app?
ReplyDeleteI believe a grand total of 113 hours. 60 hrs at one clinic and 53 at another but the 60 hrs was a ballpark because it was from about 5 years ago and I lost the book I wrote my hours down in. Oops... Either way that is very little time compared to the people that spend years as Techs and such. Not to say there aren't people with literally 0 hrs vet exp. on their apps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, that makes me feel a little better about my experience level. I worry that I'll need 1,000's of hours but I don't think that will be the case!
