10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read behavioral interview questions online. Made lists of possible experiences to use.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly the teachers and administrators were. The information session was very... informative (Candace, the technology lady, especially)

What impressed you negatively?

The third/fourth-year student who interviewed me seemed like he didn't really want to be there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the questions weren't going to be mind-boggling. I had psyched myself up for something much harder.

What are your general comments?

The vet students were very nice and my tour guide seemed to know what she was talking about. The other pre-vets weren't terribly friendly though (at least the ones I spoke to). Maybe it's because we were all so nervous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
