How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Interview feedback on SDN, reviewed current events on AVMA's website (even though they didn't ask me anything about them), looked over Kansas's veterinary school website

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so friendly! I really like the Tablet PC's they give students. They have a demo out with the OneNote software for applicants to try out. All notes are downloaded onto the Tablet PC's at the beginning of the year. I admire that consistency and devotion to technology.

What impressed you negatively?

It was Saturday so the teaching hospital was closed so we didn't get to see much of it on the tour. The town is small and would probably be boring living there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be no behavioral or current events questions - they just want to talk about things specific to your application.

What are your general comments?

There are tours running throughout the day every 2 hours or so. If you get there early enough you can go on a tour before your interview, or you can wait around after your interview and go on one. They take your picture, have you input your preferred address to send your letter to, and have a Tablet PC out to try. Other than your interview, that's really about it. There are current vet students circulating around while you are waiting and they will answer any questions. They also take you to your interview room and take you on your tour. There is a pizza party later in the evening that is casual where you can ask current vet students questions. Overall it is very laid-back, so don't worry too much!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
