💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
What was the most interesting question?
Is there anything else you want to tell us that you think we should know?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed Ohio's veterinary school website, AVMA's news website, zoonotic diseases, and my application.
What was the most difficult question?
If you had a pet owner come in with a 16 year old cat in need of a dental cleaning, what reasoning would you use to convince the owner to get the cat's teeth cleaned if she didn't care about oral health? What blood work would you run and why?
What impressed you positively?
There was a Q & A with the current vet students and they seemed very happy to be there and were very open and friendly. The facilities were very impressive and the equipment is all brand new. There was a lot of reassurance that if you get rejected from vet school, it is not a personal failure and to keep trying if this is what you really want. My interviewers were very kind and non-threatening.
What impressed you negatively?
The orientation had two repeating themes: Vet school is hard! Vet school is expensive! Anyone who does not already know this must not be very serious about this profession.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I would have wanted to know they were going to ask me so many questions about clinical situations. I would have wanted to know that they would ask about global issues and not just national issues. I would have wanted to know that if you have any C's, D's, F's, or W's on your transcript in prerequisites, they will ask you to explain them!
