How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback, OSU-SVM website, read over my VMCAS and supplemental application

What impressed you positively?

School pride- could be seen in both faculty and students. Also, the orientation session before the interview really helped to calm nerves!

What impressed you negatively?

Can't think of anything at the moment...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't feel fully prepared for my interview beforehand (had 2 finals the day before, so didn't prep too much).... but I walked out of the interview feeling OK! So no, can't think of anything I wish I would have known ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

It is really OK to be nervous!! I could even tell my interviewers were nervous too (they put their pants on one leg at a time too). My voice was super shaky for the first few minutes, but once the conversation got flowing I felt completely relaxed... GOOD LUCK!!! Also- I am IS but attend college OOS so I flew in , that is why my travel/cost is higher... incase you were confused
