What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

If you could sum yourself up on a bumper sticker, what would it say?

Report Response | I was asked this too

Is there an FMD vaccine? (This was less of a question than it sounds like, as it flowed from the above conversation about work I've done, and was in the context of outbreak response. My response included the controversial nature of the FMD vax.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through current events, practiced responses to potential interview questions (on my own and with family/friends), reviewed infectious disease info, reviewed application and other relevant personal info, researched school (through their website).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The Veterinary Teaching Hospital, the faculty, the students, the atmosphere, the research facilities (especially BRI).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Manhattan itself is a very small town, and is a little run down looking. It's also not placed very close to any larger city, which could be a problem for some folks.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I was somewhat negatively impressed by the town, but very positively impressed by K-State. The people, the research, the programs, the facilities, it all was great. The interview itself was very low stress, much more conversational than you would imagine an interview to be. There were plenty of follow-up questions within the context of the conversation (tell us more about this, etc.) but on the whole it flowed very easily.
