What was the most interesting question?

So, tell us about your dog? (This was completely unexpected, I think one of my LORs mentioned my fanatical relationship with my dog :))

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

So, you've spoken a great deal about your desire to work with people and your past experiences and current interest in public health . . .why not just go to public health school? (this one just caught me off guard . . I was totally expecting the "why vet school" question just not framed in this context . . .I definitely babbled my way through it . . .blah)

How did you prepare for the interview?

re-read my application a gillion times, had coworkers read it and come up with questions, mock interview, read CDC, AVMA, TVMA, etc websites, practiced in front of a mirror. Basically, tried to do everything I could to be prepared for any type of question . .. naturally, they only asked me a couple of questions that I had specifically prepared for.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Thoroughly impressed with the approachibility of the professors, interviewers, and students. This has been discussed already on other feedbacks but I can't reiterate how NICE and accomodating everyone was. There was no "good cop/bad cop" or disenchanted students. Everyone really seemed to want to make you feel at home and did what ever they could to calm your nerves

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing in particular

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I think this is the first year they did this . . but my interview team consisted of 2 faculty members and one general practitioner from the Knoxville area (which offered a different perspective). Also, the stress level I indicated above was completely due to my own neuroses and not any stress that the interviewers put directly on me . . .they could not have been more cool and laid back.
