What was the most interesting question?

No responses

What was the most difficult question?

I was asked a lot of situational questions about how I would handle a given situation in practice. For example, I was asked how I would handle a situation where a client brought a puppy in to me that had a broken leg and had been treated by my colleague down the street, but it was clear that it wasn't treated properly. I was also asked about zoonotic disease - i.e. name some, why do we care about them?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I did a lot of research on zoonotic diseases, and different species of farm animals ( I had heard that some of their interviewers would ask people to name 5 species of swine or dairy cow)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The facilities - they were up-to-date, state of the art. Everything seemed new, and very nice. It was a bigger school than others I had seen.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The whole process was quite unnerving, because everyone was so unfriendly. There was nothing organized for interviewees other than the actual interview itself. The tour was thrown together last minute, and led by a student that was only half interested. The admissions staff was quite unfriendly, and my interview was incredibly stressful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That this type of interview process was very uncharacteristic of all the other processes! I thought I was going to experience hell like this at every school I interviewed with. Definitely not true!

Report Response | I was asked this too
