Report Response | I was asked this too

You expressed interest in you application in doing an abroad volunteer program, have you done any volunteer work before? This question didn't really do me any good because I was unable to do volunteer work in college, but I am still very interested in pursuing it in veterinary school. I told her that I was unable to because of working full time and not having the funds to travel, but that its always something I wanted to do.

What was the most interesting question?

No responses

What was the most difficult question?

The only question that caught me somewhat off guard was this one that went a bit like this; Veterinary applicants tend to stress that they are animal people, but often they underestimate how much of a role human interactions have in medicine. What do you think is the role of humans in veterinary medicine? I don't think they asked about clients specifically, but this is how I took the question.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I printed out a large list of most popular questions that are asked at veterinary interviews and I practiced answering them. I also discussed some of the questions with my coworkers at my animal hospital as well as with my doctor. Hearing their perspective helped me come up with more unique responses and be able to speak naturally/without stress.
