✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

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?

Made a list of anecdotes that I could recall when they asked about specific situations (highly recommended)

What impressed you positively?

Nothing really

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities were old, they didn't really care whether I was there or not. The students seemed indifferent. Chambana is much more geared towards their almost 40,000 undergraduates, who I'm really not in the mood to deal with during my 4 years of vet school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I originally planned on being there at 8, but then realized that the schedule was so unstructured that I didn't really need to be there until 3:30 (my interview was at 4). I slept forever and then drove around for a while. I didn't bother to go on any tours, or go to the information session about...tablet PCs (I really don't know why they bothered with this). I showed up at 3 and ''registered'', which involved someone's secretary throwing a folder at me. The interviewers seemed tired and ready to go home. I think I did well but I don't really care anymore.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
