How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I basically read current events in Vet Med, which for this interview I really didn't need.

What impressed you positively?

The very family nature of LSU and the fact that the inteviewers were very nice and welcoming. They truly wanted you to do well. They also had A LOT of first year students around to talk to and an open house on the day of the interview!

What impressed you negatively?

Can't think of anything, I suppose the interviews were running late, but for me I was too so it worked out just fine :D Besides it showed that the interviewers were more about learning who you were and not keeping schedules :D

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't stress (I know its impossible not to!) but again they really wanted you to do well :D

What are your general comments?

Have fun! Be confident. This is the opportunity for you to show off how talented and dedicated you are! Show them you really want to be there!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I wish I had some but everything about LSU's admission process was FANTASTIC! They had an up to date
