How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed current events in world and veterinary profession, reviewed interview questions with a vet I worked for, and reviewed info about the school, my transcripts and my personal statement. I also brought a change of shoes for the tour.

What impressed you positively?

The atmosphere created by the faculty and students. Everyone was so encouraging and accommodating!

What impressed you negatively?

The cold weather!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there is no reason to be nervous; the interviewers put their pants on one leg at a time, too.

What are your general comments?

The interview went by really quickly and I kept thinking of things that I wish I would have said, but overall it was a positive experience. I thought that it was really nice of the school to host a pizza party for the interviewees and also them to ask questions of the faculty and current students. Manhattan is really small, but it is totally worth moving there because the atmosphere at the vet school is very welcoming and encouraging.
