What are your general comments?
I learned that clinicals start a bit earlier than they may at some other schools, so this made the program more appealing. There are many opportunities to be involved, and if you take advantage of them you can graduate with more experience than I thought possible.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What is something that you do that is completely selfless? It may have had to be an answer that was not animal related, but I can't remember specifically.
What was the most interesting question?
I didn't get anything usual, just a lot of situation questions.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN and I searched online for questions that were on the UF pre-vet website.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers seemed to respond positively to some of my answers. They were nice and willing to clarify questions or restate the prompt if I wandered and asked, lol. They also gave me information about operation catnip, which I liked because I like spay/neuter and would like to be involved.
