Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I have classes all day, would someone be able to summarize any key points from the virtual visit day today? Especially the meeting with financial aid?
Members don't see this ad.
 
Anyone know when they will announce financial aid/loan information? I checked my Self Service finiancial aid page but nothing seems to be posted yet.

i emailed them last week and they said the meeting should've been recorded and they will send an email with a link to it in a couple weeks. i had 3 hours of presentations literally 10-1:00 that i had to watch so i missed the entire thing

also if you go on studentaid.gov you can see the loans they give for tuition. the COL loans aren't posted yet tho
 
also i'm going to visit next friday and have viewings for 3 apartments through green st realty and have been seeing such horrible stuff about them online 😭 but they're pretty much my only option because i want to live alone

I can't speak for what rent is like, but I have friends at Hessel on the Park and at Stoneridge Square who both live alone and like their places, in case you hadn't checked those out yet

The village at Colbert park also has a bunch of singles left. A bunch of 1st years live there now. Pacifica on green isn’t bad if you want to live on green

this place seems promising. i'll probably book a showing after i see the green st places. i also feel like all landlords are bad to some extent and there's always going to be people with renting horror stories so i'm trying not to worry about it too much. thanks!!

Are you a member of the Illinois free and for sale Facebook page? There are a few landlords that have been renting to exclusively to vet students for a long time and have a good reputation.

There should be somewhere around 150 seniors that may have recommendations too!

I’ve declined my OOS spot as well! Best of luck to everyone on the waitlist!
 
can anyone speak for how roommate matching has worked for them in the past? i've only ever lived with my best friend so i'm a little worried about trusting an apartment to do roommate matching lol

Turned out sub optimal once for me, then well the next two times. But the first time, I was houses with undergrads and the second and third with graduate/professional students.

I know some people in the class of 2027 that got matched with all undergrads, which has not been great. I think the best way to find roommates is to join the class of 2028 fb page (when it’s created) and find people on there. That is how I found my roommates and it has worked out great!

This fb page is definitely the best place to look! Its name is University of Illinois CVM class of 2028. I found my current roommates through my class’s one and it worked out very well. You can request to join the FB now but they aren’t letting anyone in until April 16th (after the acceptance deadline)
 
I’m a current first year and I highly recommend the vet med roommate finder fb page as well! People from my class have been posting looking for roommates as theres always changes between years :)

Anyone else on the waitlist getting emails about important dates and orientation?

Yes, I got one this morning. Definitely got me excited for a moment there, though I know it’s too early for them to start pulling from the waitlist.
 
I’m on the waitlist and I got a call from an Urbana number this morning that I didn’t see. Does Illinois typically call waitlisted applicants?
 
They called my friend directly when she was pulled in 2017
 
so i saw those green street apartments and they were as horrible as i was worried they'd be 😅 looking for places in savoy now since that's what a lot of people are recommending and it seems promising

A lot of my class likes the grey townhouses in the south side of Savoy. I'm completely blanking on the name though 🤦🏼‍♀️

I never rented through Green Street, but I haven't ever heard anything good about them. Campus Property Managment also has a lot of properties around town. Again never rented but I've been in a few for pet sitting and they're quite nice in some areas.

Do you happen to know/remember if she received an email as well?

They also called me directly in 2018 when I was accepted. I was able to answer the phone but I know that they emailed me after but I don’t know if they would have or not had I not answered and told them on the phone I was accepting my spot 😂
Doesn’t hurt to try and call the number back and see if it was the CVM, but I’d hope they would at least leave a vm asking for a call back or email you if you didn’t answer

The village was where sporty lived and the courtyards was across the street from it. Courtyards was ones that were owned by separate management companies and some were owned by individuals who lived there (vs the whole complex being owned by one company like the village)

I mean, it wouldn't hurt to ask. But at this point, you're likely SOL.

I now hope in 20 or 25 years when I say LOL, a youngster says, "I don't know what LOL means." It would be the perfect full circle moment for me.

I don’t know you, but I’m not sure telling someone they’re s*** out of luck when asking a question is the best way to go about things. It’s a tad snobbish. You may have been being facetious but that’s hard to interpret through messaging and forums. I would hate for you to get called out later down the line for weird comments/behavior like that. From one future veterinarian to another (or current veterinarian). No hard feelings, simply an observation.

Current veterinarian.

Seeing as the email was sent on February 8 after a rejection January 19, and the email wasn't found until May 9ish, SOL is a pretty apt description seeing as signing day was April 15 if the OP's intent was to try to get into Illinois at this point.

No intent on being snobby, and agree that intent is hard to read over just text content. I don't beat around the bush. Hence why a lot of us long timers on this website recommend inferring best intent when reading people's responses. Giving the benefit of the doubt is the only way social media is worthwhile any more.
