How did you prepare for the interview?

It was a behavioral interview, so spent time reflecting on past experiences that would demonstrate teamwork, creative thinking, integrity, empathy, conflict management, etc. Put some thought into how I would address questions that may be raised about my application, such as not having many upper division sciences classes completed at the time. Also considered how I would respond if I totally blanked on a question. Attended the free interview prep workshop they offered beforehand, and found it useful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

In the waiting area there were several current vet students hanging out trying to help you stay relaxed by talking to you and answering questions (although in retrospect, I wouldn't have gotten as involved in small talk with them because I think I lost a little of my focus and had to regroup during the first few minutes of the actual interview.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I'd hoped my interviewers would provide SOME amount of feedback...they were both very nice but didn't give away any hints, verbal or nonverbal, as to how they thought the interview went.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Beware of the water & sodas they offer in the waiting area...if you don't handle them correctly, your introductory hand shake will be cold & wet!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was get-to-know-you conversation that seemed to focus on your understanding of the profession (pros and cons), your motivations for entering it, one ''moral dilemma'' question, some past experiences questions about how you handled certain situations plus the opportunity to ask questions of your own.
