Ethics Questions: How do you feel about euthanasia? What is the ethical difference between euthanizing a mouse and euthanizing a dog? Lately wild coyotes have been attacking pets in the area. The locals have taken to just shooting the coyotes. How would you fix this problem in both the long and short terms?

General Questions: Why veterinary medicine and why Tufts? Tell us about your research. How much do you think a small animal vet makes right out of school? (I answered correctly, and then...) Do you think that's too much or too little? What do you do to relieve stress?

What are your general comments?

My interviewers were nice and laid back, but they asked me really difficult questions! Because I had to reschedule my interview due to the weather, they had all the time in the world to grill me. I was really nervous for the first five minutes, but fortunately I had good answers for all of their questions.
