Well, it looks like my decision has been made! First, let me start out by saying that I have been an emotional wreck these past 24 hours. Yesterday at my dad's place (about an hour from where I live) I was checking my Facebook on my phone and there was a post about VMRCVM letters going out two weeks early. My heard dropped about 3 feet when I read that and I started freaking out. I knew that they sent emails out, so I checked mine and nothing. Then I check the online status page and still... nothing.

I then go online to the student doctor forum (I'm a member) and check the VT thread. There are people posting that they got accepted. I am really having a panic attack at this point as I had not heard either way. With VMRCVM you either get wait-listed or accepted at this point after interviews. Someone else then posts that they were wait-listed. Hours go by and a long drive home and still NO WORD. I am feeling sick and nauseous at this point. I tell myself that I'm going to stay up no matter how long it takes which lasted until about midnight last night. Then, I /tried/ to go to bed, which of course I could not sleep... at all. I checked my email at 2am, and then at 5:30am which at that point I decided I wasn't getting any sleep. I had to be at work at 8am anyway.

Finally, I get to work and tell everyone there about the awful time I am having. I decide to check my email again at 8:30 and FINALLY there is an email from Tech. I got wait-listed. One of my co-workers said that I looked so much better after reading it since being stuck in limbo was pure torture. Having others know and not a word on my end was so painful. There were others in my same position, which helped. So anyway, I got wait-listed at my in-state school. Not a big shot, I knew I bombed that interview, it was terrible. I'm not going to go into it again.

After April 15th, you can call and get your wait-list number from them. Which is, of course, the same day that all acceptances are due for the schools. So, I DECIDED I AM GOING TO MIZZOU!! I am so so excited. From my last post, you can tell I was going to have to make a difficult decision if I got accepted to Tech. I really loved Mizzou and was even leaning towards going there regardless. I am so RELIEVED that I don't have to make that choice.

I know that I am going to love Missouri!! It is sure going to be a new experience for me and being so far away from home is going to be hard, but I'm just so excited to be starting a new chapter in my life and that I AM going to be a veterinarian in just 4 short years.
