How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my VMCAS application, OSU supplementary application, SDN, and veterinary relevant articles. I also went over responses to common questions like, &quot;why do you want to be a vet,&quot; &quot;why OSU,&quot; etc, etc. Came up with specific questions to ask at the end of the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were great and the students/staff were so helpful and friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The veterinary library closes @ 8pm and there is no cafeteria to buy lunch and not many tables to eat at for hundreds of students/staff.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking meter info. And mapquest messed up my directions (they left out a street going there and then leaving the street names didn't even exist).

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed my interview process; it was amazing to meet so many neat applicants and I was much less nervous then I though I would be when the time came to be interviewed!! My interviewers were great; they were friendly and tried to get to know me as an individual.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
