What are your general comments?
The best thing to do for this interview is relax. My interviewers were very nice, and the whole thing was conversational. Everyone said all morning that the interviewers are just trying to get to know you as a person, and I genuinely felt like they were. Know some stuff about current events, and a lot about veterinary medicine in general (stuff you should probably know anyway if you're this far along in pursuing vetmed as a career), and be able to describe many facets of your personality. Also, if you feel you did well, stick around for a few minutes afterward. They told me I was accepted 15 minutes after my interview!
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
So, tell me a little bit about yourself.
What was the most interesting question?
Would you ever be able to bleed Scarlet and Gray? (I'm a Gator, so there's a bit of a conflict of interest!)
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read all the previous interview feedbacks on Student Doctor Network, read up on some current issues, read all about zoonotic diseases (they asked about them!), practiced interviews with my friends, re-read my application/resume/essays (they asked specific things from my application), and checked out the Ohio State and AVMA websites.
What was the most difficult question?
Is there anything else you'd like us to know that isn't evident in your application? (Not necessarily a hard question, but it caught me off guard at the end of the interview and I hadn't prepared for it!)
What impressed you positively?
The vet students that did the Q&A and led the tours were super-enthusiastic and everyone there couldn't stop saying awesome things about Ohio State and how much they loved it.
What impressed you negatively?
Having to wait 3 1/2 hours between lunch and my interview. It didn't end up being that bad though; a lot of us sat in the lounge area and chatted.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
There were things that I didn't know about OSU, but nothing really that I wish I'd known. I was surprised at how urban the campus is, and at some of the qualifications to get Ohio residency. Overall I feel that I was very well-prepared.
