Well, that's a relief

[trinityvixen]

People have been asking me questions about vet school applications, and the unfortunate fact is that there really isn't news. Most schools will have interviews, but they won't be until January or February, so I won't hear back from them until (probably) next year. I went and checked all the fact sheets for schools and only Cornell said that I could expect to hear whether I got an interview in December.

Clearly, I didn't read these fact sheets closely enough because I got an e-mail today from the Royal Veterinary College telling me that I had been selected for an interview!!!!

I am excited, obviously, but my biggest sense is RELIEF. I am relieved to know that at least at one of the schools to which I applied I had a competitive enough application to make it to their second round. It's also a big relief just to hear something. Because of all the questions I'd been asked of late, I was beginning to get a little anxious that I hadn't heard anything. With electronic submissions these days, the most you get from schools is a checklist of what you've submitted and no other feedback otherwise. It's a little scary sending out stuff into the ether and not know whether it's made any impression. Here's hoping I get similarly good news from Cornell next month...

Is that in London? That would be awesome! Good luck!

It is, indeed, in London. My sister, the big Anglophile, is already ready to move there with me.

Oh I totally understand that, being a ginormous anglophile myself, and I'm all about grad school in London. Can I move there with you too? :-P

Sold. You can help me navigate the city!

Did you know our cat was British? If you go to school in London, you'll be able to take care of her ten times better! TEN TIMES.

Counting chickens, something about...

Nice! I didn't know you were thinking of going to London.

If all the international schools had been as easy to apply to as the RVC, I'd have applied all over the world (so long as their degrees were recognized here). I wanted to apply in New Zealand and Australia, but it was too hard and I hit the deadline.

*Fingers crossed*

Good luck (with all of them)!
