✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed by application, school's website, and SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The students were very friendly, new student center, high small animal case load, and lots of research opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

The faculty wasn't has welcoming as I would have hoped. The facilities (teaching hospital) were not as new as other schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, the day went exactly how the admissions office stated in the schedule that they send out.

What are your general comments?

Ask a lot of questions to the current students who will be around before your interview. My tour was not done by a student and there is no general information session, so it really is the only time that you have to learn about the school. The interview itself is very conversational and they really just want to get to know you. They will ask questions based on your application and possibly some general questions but 90% of the interview was based on my application.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Have an information/welcome session. Have more activities throughout the day.
