Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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!

Ohio State University

Success!
