How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my VMCAS, checked out CNN and FDA News sections on-line, went to the vet school's website and read about the program I was interested in (this will help you formulate good questions to ask them as well).

What impressed you positively?

The dean of student affairs (one of my two interviewers) was soooo nice, I could tell she had REALLY read my VMCAS because she would ask me the hardest questions in the areas that she knew I worked the longest in and more basic questions in the areas I'd worked less in. She also recalled specifics from my personal statement (and she didn't have any notes out at that point to remind her of things). Both interviewers were so interested in finding out about me as a person, I'd say 40% of my questions had nothing to do directly with vet med.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just bring quaters b.c visitor parking is metered (15 mins = 25 cents). I had no trouble finding a spot to park b/c there is a fair amount of visitor parking around the school.

What are your general comments?

Awesome, sums it up. State of the art acedemic buildings and hospital, approachable faculty, and every student I talked to was SOOOO nice and helpful. *Another thing about Ohio for out of state residents: If accepted, the school gives you $10,000 (this is NOT based on financial need, every out of state student gets it) to help cover tuition your first year. THEN after that it is very possible to pay in-state tuition. While I was touring the school, they actually were giving a seminar to the first year students on how to do just that, so don't be detered by the cost if you really want to go here!
