💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

''I see you plan to open your own practice...How would you overcome the competition? Where would you practice?''
''If you found out during your 3rd year of vet school that you were extremely allergic to animals what would you do with your life?''
''tell us, why do you want to be a vet?'' -- didnt see that one coming ;)

What was the most interesting question?

Suppose a red-tail hawk is brought in from the wild with a gsw to the wing...What would you do? If you were to keep it alive could it serve any purpose?

What was the most difficult question?

A woman brings in a dog that you notice has been used for dog fighting. The dog belongs to the woman's relative who will harm her if he finds out the dog has been treated. If you report her, she will not allow you to treat the dog. If you call the authorities she may be in danger. What do you do? (*this one never seemed to end)

What are your general comments?

I thought the ''cold'' interview went much better. It was in a smaller room with only two interviewers. It was a lot less stressful than the ''hot'' interview (4 interviewers in a conference room). No real specific questions they all seemed to be hypothetical scenarios I may find myself in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
