How did you prepare for the interview?

reviewed interview questions on SDN, reviewed the list of questions given to me by my mentor, reviewed my application and looked at current events.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everything! the school was great, everyone was very friendly and informative. I really like MSU's 2 year classroom/2 year clinical curriculum. My mentor was amazing- answered all my questions, was there before and after my interview, and even showed me around Starkville!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the dress code. I understand the reasoning behind it, and could definitely get used to it, but learning about it made me feel like I was back in high school again.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Starkville is very small, but I thought the school was impressive enough to make up for it. Also, I would recommend not staying at the America's Best Value Inn. It was the cheapest place I could find and very close to the vet school, but the shower water was lukewarm at best, and I was kept up half the night by people yelling outside and driving around the parking lot revving their engines (maybe that was just the one night, but it sucked the night before my interview when I was trying to get a good night's sleep!)
