💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
In fairness to the MMI I won't disclose any scenarios. What I will say is that they are asking questions to probe your own personal feelings about self management, team management, ethics - there's a wide range. I guarantee that in some way, you (the reader of this survey) have considered this scenario and how you might act. You've been preparing for it your whole life, in a sense.

How did you prepare for the interview?
Read up on my own application, the interview format, and enjoyed the campus and experience!
What impressed you positively?
The facilities were top-notch. The anatomy lab is pristine, the lecture hall and building were super impressive, and while the small and large animal hospitals were older buildings, they're very well-equipped. I was also really impressed with the other interviewees - I felt that those whom I met were very fun, interesting and supportive.
What impressed you negatively?
There's very little about this school that impressed me negatively. I think the location is poor for some, but I'm rural-minded and loved it.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That there's no concrete way to prepare for the interview, other than to be yourself (generic, I know) .
What are your general comments?
I got a great impression from the school, students, faculty, and interviewees alike. An acceptance from VMRCVM would be very difficult to decline!
