How many application cycles before applying to SGU?

Hello, pre-vets and veterinary students!

I just recently got my rejection letter for the second year in a row to my state school. I am technically waitlisted but far enough down that it's highly unlikely I will be getting in this year.

I've really been kicking it around, trying to decide how many more years I want to waste applying to my state school without ever getting in. Not getting in has only made me more determined than ever to become a DVM and I've done a lot of research and I think SGU has a wonderful program! Obviously though there are a few things holding me back so far, like the higher tuition and loan interest rates, not being accredited, and having to live so far away from my friends and family.

Because I was able to get waitlisted this year, I'm thinking I might give it one more go here in the states, and simultaneously apply for SGU for 2009. Then again, I really REALLY want to get started on my degree!

Just curious how many VMCAS application cycles you current SGU students went through before applying to SGU (if any)? Or if you are still in pre-vet, how many times do you think you would apply to a US school before applying to SGU (if any)? Sorry this poll is worded a little confusing, hope it makes sense!
