✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Checking this board for sample questions, having people question me, coming up with a &quot;database&quot; of interesting stories to use for various questions.

What impressed you positively?

Great people, very organized, and the 1st year who did the tour was very well informed.

What impressed you negatively?

I was a little worried about the low caseload - both small animal and large animal hospitals seemed a little slow.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really, except I wish I had come the day before and stayed overnight (I drove there 4.5 hours before interview and was sore from sitting for so long).

What are your general comments?

Basically, draw stories from ALL your experiences - personal relationships, family, jobs, animal, research, travel, etc. Don't just talk about animals. They want well-rounded people who have had different life experiences. I used my sense of humor to calm myself down in the beginning, and it wound up helping me build a repore w/ the interviewers. However, keep it clean if you're going to be witty!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
