Question about Australian Vet School
I’m an American pre-vet student who submitted all my VMCAS applications last month and am awaiting responses in a few months. I have a question regarding the University of Sydney vet school. I understand that Sydney sends out offers in late October - November because their school year starts in mid-February. However, mid-February is when the American schools send out all their responses. My worry is this:
Hypothetically, if U of Sydney sends me an acceptance email, I would either have to A) accept it and move to Australia, only to find out after I get there that an American school has accepted me, but by then it’s too late, or B) I take the risk and say “no, I’m gonna wait to see if I can get into a school in my own country,” only for all the American schools to end up rejecting me. So this situation would be a pretty big gamble for me.
Has anyone else been in this predicament before? If so, how did you handle it? What did you decide to do? If you ended up going to Australia, did you have any regrets?
I would appreciate any thoughts or advice. Thanks!
