I am still in shock after finding out I got into vet school Tuesday night. It is still hard to believe after so many years that I will finally be starting veterinary school in August. In just 4 years, I'll have a DVM after my name and a Dr. before it. Wow. Just wow.

Today was the last day for NC State to send out letters to us, so I should hopefully be getting mine in the next few days. It looks like they only accept 20 out of state students, so my chances at this school are lower, but not to matter. I am already in a Mizzou.

I also decided today, after a lot of thinking, that I am going to cancel my last two interviews that were at Auburn and Tuskegee, Alabama. My thought process on this is that even if I go down, spend a ton of money on both of these interviews getting there and if I get accepted, I still would choose Mizzou over both of these schools. The big reason is that Mizzou allows you to change your residency after the first year so I could be paying in-state rates after that. That equals a huge savings of at least $50-75,000 total so it isn't even a question of is it worth it. Also, a big factor to me is that Auburn requires business dress for normal classes. For me, this is a huge deal since I don't have anything like that in my current wardrobe. I had to go out and buy everything for my interviews. I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe just for normal classes. Now, some people have said 'suck it up it is professional school' or 'you will have to wear that for clinicals.' Well, let me just say, I don't mind wearing something nice for a reason, like clnicals. That is fine with me, I have no problem with that. My problem is when it is for something like classes- which makes no sense. We are going to be stuck in a lecture hall all day or down in the labs. I just don't see the point of dressing up nicely for that, I just don't.

Anyway, now that my rant is over, it is nice now to not have to worry about any more interviews plus, look at all the money I will be saving! I did have to cancel my flight and didn't get the money back for that, but I will be able to have $150 towards another ticket sometime this year, which I will be flying to San Diego Comic-con in July, so that works out great.

After work tomorrow, I am going to call each school and tell them that I am no longer attending the interview. Hopefully they can send out another interview invite to someone else who would like the chance!
