💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN Feedback
What was the most difficult question?
I was asked about how I drew blood/restrained birds. Given that I had done neither, I politely informed the interviewers of this fact and they quickly steered the topic back to a skill on my supplemental that I had listed (a deliberate miscue on their part to gauge my reaction perhaps.)
What impressed you positively?
Other applicants / current students were friendly and talkative. Office of Student Affairs extremely accommodating of special requests
What impressed you negatively?
Hospital interior somewhat dated and I saw relatively few food animals or horses on my tour despite claims of "high caseload" from the college
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
My interviewers were extremely objective and did not give facial cues or strong indications of how they felt about my responses to questions; it was somewhat off-putting at first but I stuck my character rather than trying to mold my answers to what I thought I "should" be saying.
