✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Google-searched and then answered every potential interview question I could find; read about the school; read over my application; had my co-workers give me hypothetical situations about working in the vet field; asked the doctor I worked for and current vet students about their experiences; prepared questions for the interviewers; read the interview feedback on this website.

What impressed you positively?

Easy to find, friendly desk help, friendly interviewer. They definitely read all my stuff and remembered all of it- it really felt like they knew who I was and paid attention to what I had written, as many of their questions related to my past experiences.

What impressed you negatively?

There was no &quot;bad cop,&quot; but two of the three interviewers (both female) seemed completely indifferent and apathetic about me. Of the 20 or so questions I was asked, 18 of them came from the male interviewer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers do not look at your grades or classes you've taken, so they do not ask you questions about them. I had prepared A TON to justify my degree in Psychology and certain grades I had received when I hadn't needed to.

What are your general comments?

I hope this helps! Good luck everyone!
