Also stumbled across this

I liked this article. Most of it rang very true. There might have been just a couple of things that didn’t apply in our case, but that we nonetheless have heard applies to many students.

It was sad seeing the dog with porcupine quills, but of course this and some things that are quite a bit yuckier are a big part of a vet’s life. Vet’s do after all see animals when help is needed.

So waitlists move.

That was our experience. Our daughter for example had a specified spot on one waitlist that seemed a bit high to me (in the 50’s if I remember correctly). They told her that she would probably get in, and she did. My guess (it is only a guess) is that they do not “overbook” for vet school, so for every student who gets into four DVM programs there are at least three students who get off the waitlist somewhere.
