What are your general comments?
Extremly positive experience -- I loved my interviewers. Everyone I met at the school was great. Once I began the interview, my stress level went down tremendously because they really tried to have more of a conversation with me and get to know me better.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Did the story in your personal statement really happen? (I made my personal statement into more of a narrative with a flowing story-line...and yes, it did happen...we all had a good laugh about it)
Mock pre-interview with my undergrad's pre-health advisor, reading up on JAVMA's website, reading about current events in general, going over basic interview questions for pre-health careers
What was the most difficult question?
What would you tell a client that called you to say that their dog had pinworms?
The facilities, the centralness of the hospital to the lecture halls, the extremly nice interviewers!! (what is it about midwestern people that makes them soooo nice?)
What impressed you negatively?
I wish a student would have given me the tour -- I think this was just because of the timing of it. My interview was pretty late in the year and it would have been nice to perhaps have it a bit earlier.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They don't feed you!
