How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I had sample questions that I had received in an email from Davis. I also prepared by reflecting on past interviews and talking to other veterinarians.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were so relaxed and very friendly. I felt like they really wanted to get to know me as a person, and really cared about what I said. Also the facilities are AMAZING!!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I could have known how layed back the interview was going to be. Knowing that would have definitely saved me from stressing out as much!

What are your general comments?

One of the best interview experiences that I had. Although I wish the whole thing was more than just come and sit down and talk. But I guess that's what they have their interview workshop for!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
