How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I started out by answering a list of questions about myself on paper and got feedback from family members/friends about what would make me different than others and what my personal attributes were. I talked multiple times with a friend who was in his third year at MSU about issues in the veterinary profession. I then did two practice interview; one with two friends who were in their first year and my other friend who was in his third year.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the entire staff.

What impressed you negatively?

They had second year students give the tours (though I had seen the facility many times) and they weren't very informative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known how much free time I was going to have. I could have brought homework to catch up on.

What are your general comments?

Over all it was good. The interviews (more one than the other) were very fun to talk to. I think it was one of the Dr's first year doing interviews. It was just an open conversation and very stress-free.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
