No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on wildlife/zoonotic diseases (my area of focus) - but wasn't asked about any of them.

What impressed you positively?

The relaxed attitudes of the faculty, and their interest in my research.

What impressed you negatively?

Sometimes the faculty talked to each other, which I certainly didn't mind, but it was hard to tell if they were comfortable with me, or just bored with my answers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The large layout of the campus.

What are your general comments?

This was for the joint DVM/PhD program, so there were ~7 hours of interviews (both group and one-on-one) as well as several tours with current students. Facilities were VERY impressive, faculty were nice and easy to talk with, and the current students enthusiastic.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
