How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application, looked at the school's website, reviewed the current events, talked to students at the pizza party, and SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The students, facilities, dual degree programs, caseload, and equine center.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, the school was great!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How many opportunities there were to ask questions, make sure you have a lot prepared!

What are your general comments?

A tour is given to each interviewee by 2-3 vet students and they tailor it to what you want to see/know about. The equine center is great to see the night before and you earn a lot about the school by going to the pizza party so that you can ask questions to the students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
