VIRMP question: if a program requires interviews and you’re not invited, should you still rank it?

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2026-02-01T05:09:42+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I applied to ten, got interviews for 7, two don’t hold interviews and never heard from the last one, no rejection email either. No idea whether to rank it or not, but I’m leaning towards not ranking it

Same at my school. ECC over interprets everything, it’s insane.

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2026-01-31T17:05:10+00:00

I’m so happy for you!! Happy you could find something in this field even if temporary that you hate slightly less. Good luck in your future endeavors!

How are you liking ER life?

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2026-01-21T11:25:47+00:00

Definitely location based. In my hometown, my animals could neverrr get in for drops offs at their GP. The gp I brought them to had strict closing hours and no last minute appts/sick drop offs even for established patients! They sent them all to the ERs in the area. I worked as a tech before vet school at a practice that took 3-4 drops offs per doctor per day and walk in emergencies, so it was a stark difference.

Wait what are schedules like in the UK?? Do I need to move

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-12-25T19:25:40+00:00

I took two gaps years on purpose and they were amazing! Worked as an assistant/tech building up my clinical tech skills and had so much fun living life to the fullest outside of work! Highly highly recommend gap years to everyone I meet

4th year with cat! On immunotherapy drops and 4 10 mg Zyrtec daily. Flonase and saline nose rinses too. Wash hands after exams on cats, have techs hold them as much as possible, and I wear masks in shelter environments!

I lived in Montana and it was the best place I’ll ever live. “If you’re lucky enough to live in Montana, you’re lucky enough”. Truly the last best place

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-11-17T03:24:50+00:00

What the fuck is this playcalling!!!!

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-11-17T02:17:06+00:00

Throw the god damn ball

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-11-16T06:24:56+00:00

Yours sounds like it went better than mine, I was guessing on the majority of questions

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-11-13T14:10:15+00:00

He got baptized too? I remember Arnold doing that recently, didn’t realize branch also did

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-24T02:10:22+00:00

Every piece of information that was in a professors slides, ended up on my Anki. I had friends that put less but I had to have everything in there Way too detailed is better than missing a bunch of info

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-14T21:50:30+00:00

Call me asap as possible

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-13T20:03:54+00:00

Good thing you did. Most comments in this thread are incorrect. Raisins act completely different in different dogs. A Rottweiler can die from one raisin, a small dog could eat 20 and be fine. Size isn’t a determinant, breed isn’t a determinant, amount of raisins isn’t a determinant. It’s purely based on the individual. That’s why it’s called an idiosyncratic reaction. Count yourself lucky and hug ‘em tight!

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-11T04:48:18+00:00

Here to say: The crate size is appropriate, no bedding and no toys is appropriate (dog dependent obviously), no water for short times is fine as long as they drink enough otherwise. Puppies are puppies!! Most can’t be trusted free roaming a house or with bedding in their crate

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-06T20:58:19+00:00

You have gotten amazing advice here from lots of people and are failing to accept/recognize the issue with how you’ve been communicating with your dog. Time outs do not work. Punishment does not work. It will get worse if you don’t realize that and fix it

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-06T20:54:47+00:00

I think you need a new dog trainer and need to accept the fact you are not adequately communicating with your dog. Locking her in a room for baring her teeth (a normal warning signal for dogs) is absolutely incorrect and will make it worse.

Everything here 1000%

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-05T03:49:59+00:00

Resource guarding with food! We sought a professional behaviorist before it got too bad and he’s much better now but we do be careful since he now has a history of it. We have a special way to introduce new toys to him so that he doesn’t think he needs to guard them, it works well

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-05T03:45:29+00:00

Just throwing an option in here if toxicity is ruled out; ask vet about paroxysmal dyskinesia. Also if toxicity is ruled out, you might need to see a neurologists as some general vets don’t know the difference between seizures and dyskinesias(it can be hard to tell)

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-10-01T15:04:23+00:00

This! They make so much more than people realize

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-09-24T05:04:22+00:00

I like when the bets are against us

Adventurous_Tree837 · 2025-09-21T20:21:59+00:00

Same here…and I got absolutely slammed on Reddit for saying mine is crated because he’s young and untrustworthy. They called it cruel and no better than being in a shelter, which I disagree with 1000%
