What are your general comments?
I felt fairly confident coming out of the interview. My interviewers really made it seem more like a conversation than an interview, so it was much more relaxed than I was expecting. I felt like I was well prepared (probably spent too much time preparing in actuality) and I could answer all of the questions I was asked.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What are 10 things you can do with a DVM?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Watched the news for a week before the interview, studied my notes from my experience with veterinarians, read a book on veterinary medical ethics, looked through information on AVMA website, mock-interviews with faculty at school, family, friends, or whoever would listen, haha.
What impressed you positively?
I really was impressed by facitilites, especially the veterinary teaching hospital. I was also impressed by how nice everyone was that I talked to - my interviewers were very good at making some small talk to start the interview to help me to have less stress.
What impressed you negatively?
Many of the classrooms were in use, and there was a conference going on so I was not able to see a lot of the academic facilities. The day was not really organized - I had my interview in the morning, then it was optional to come for a student-conducted tour at noon
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Meter-parking only!! Bring lots of quarters! Also, an extra pair of shoes wouldn't hurt for the tour, especially if you interview in the afternoon after the tour - we walked through the large animal facility, which was clean for a barn, but still a barn. :) You don't want to smell like you stepped in something going into your interview, even though it IS a veterinary interview, haha.
