💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Name 3 of the most common injuries to a Standardbred racehorse
What was the most interesting question?
Of the veterinarians you've shadowed, which one do you consider your mentor?
how do you feel about horse slaughter? Why don't we just starve them? (My interviewer said the USDA would've agreed with my answer...yay!)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Studied the school, talked to a first-year over SDN, read up on some current events from the AVMA
What was the most difficult question?
If you were the vet at a racetrack and saw someone hurting a horse, what would you do in that situation? (It was part of my personal statement - I saw some pretty shady things while working at my local raceway)
What impressed you positively?
The facilities are great - very spacious, and they are looking to expand it even more. The hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber for horses was cool. The faculty, staff, and students were so helpful and welcoming. Although I was extremely stressed and nervous, the interview was very relaxed and comfortable
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing, honestly
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interviewers are not on the admissions committee, and that they can change the phase 2 scores they gave applicants, even after theyve handed them in
