What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Have you ever seen a person with distemper? (haha very funny! NO! humans don't get distemper)

What was the most interesting question?

They asked mostly questions that were specific to my applicaton. The questions were taylored to me specifically... about previous job experiences, etc. ex: What have I learned from serving (?) I know! and will that help me in the vet field.

What was the most difficult question?

Most of the questions were pretty straight forward. I was asked about avian diseases and if I could name any... At the time my brain wasn't functioning the way I would've hoped (nerves). They told me that it was OK and moved to the next question.

How did you prepare for the interview?

The second year student had compiled a list of questions to help the interviewees out. I used that and various web sites. I also reviewed my VMCAS.

What impressed you positively?

The students and staff seem very helpful and encouraging. Barbara Coates (Student Affairs Coordinator) was AMAZING. She was more than willing to go above and beyond what was asked of her.

What impressed you negatively?

Starkville is REALLY small.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview was very relaxed and I felt confident going in. MSU works very hard to make sure each of it's applicants have everything they will need to be fully prepared to have a successful experience.
