What are your general comments?
I thought my interview went well. I had two gentleman who were Theriogeniologists. They didn't play good cop, bad cop and were very friendly. They helped me feel relaxed and then helped me ease into the questions. They also talked to me about the cost of me attending The Ohio State University. I don't know if it helped that I'm also a guy and was able to talk football with them. I prepared using all of my tools, and almost all of my questions that I had thought of (Horse Slaughter Act, BSE, research, etc...) were asked. I answered them well and they let me ask some questions too.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Have you looked at the cost of attending Veterinary School among all of the schools that you applied to?
What was the most interesting question?
The most interesting question I was asked was what did I know about the Horse Slaughter Act?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I prepared by taking questions from past interviews on the Student Doctor Network. I also looked up the Ohio State University's Pre-Vet Website and found their list of questions that were asked. I then answered all of those questions, looked over my VMCAS and Supplemental Applications. I then looked over any odd cases I had from my experience I had at my Hospital. I then looked up Zoonotic Diseases, Avian Influenza, BSE, etc... (All of the previous three came up in my interview). I made sure to know what my research was about and I looked up research that doctors at the hospital were studying.
What was the most difficult question?
The most difficult question concerned whether what was the greatest adversity I had faced. Since this concerned the death of my mother, this was very difficult.
What impressed you positively?
I was impressed by the fact that the Main Academic Building was practically new. (At least five years old.) I liked that the people were very friendly and it had a large number of residencies.
What impressed you negatively?
It was kind of a dreary day, and the student guide wasn't the regular guide. The original guide left with only two people and there were over 10 people for the interview. Thus the guide who gave us our tour wasn't very impressive, but she tried her best.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had known how close my hotel was to the Academic Building. I left an hour to get there and it took five minutes.
