💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me what you would tell someone if they brought in a new kitten to see you for the first time.
Tell us about your research. Then they asked in further detail until the only thing left for me to say was "I don't know, it might not even work so let's cross that bridge when we get to it." They laughed.
Why do you want to be a veterinarian?

What was the most interesting question?

What type of news do you seek out? or Name zoonotic diseases

What was the most difficult question?

They harassed me about what I want to do and told me I would need a phd which was wrong because every vet I have worked with in my field doesn't have a phd. So, I guess, explaining why I don't want a phd was the hardest.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions people were so helpful and nice and the new oncology wing on the VTH was beautiful. All the current students also wished us good luck.

What impressed you negatively?

One of the interviewers was rude and the tour guide was super full of herself. I wish the interviewers were more interactive and less stoic. I just felt like I was boring them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You have to leave your purse/coats in a locker. They put your interviewers names on the back of your name tag so keep it for writing your thank yous.
