How did you prepare for the interview?
I reread my Personal Statement and Supplemental Application essay. Make sure you go over everything on there! Also, be prepared to explain the weaknesses in your application. I read up on current events but they didn't ask me about any.
What impressed you positively?
I think the dinner the night before did put me at ease a little.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing! I love OSU and I am so excited to go there for vet school!!! Just got accepted today :D
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Prepare a brief closing statement (why you should get in) and some questions that can't easily be answered on their website.
What are your general comments?
Relax! I've learned that most people really don't know how they did in their interview. I thought I did so-so but apparently they were impressed! So, if you are self-critical like I am, just breathe and realize it is out of your hands once you interview. But, definitely prepare by answering questions posted on SDN and do mock interviews.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Nothing! April Pugh is awesome! All my emails were answered very rapidly and she was extremely friendly at dinner. She convinced me to apply this year and I am so glad I did!
