How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, went back through my application and made notes so that I'd be prepared to be knowledgeable about any experience they asked me about, read veterinary journals and made notes about hot topics in my interest areas, scanned the news to be prepared for any world current events questions

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I'd heard from several people that UT has a really laid back interview, and it is so true. Halfway through my interview, they asked me what they could do to convince me to come to UT and spent a long time selling the school to me (totally unnecessary b/c I LOVE the school!). They also complimented me on my application, which they didn't have to do, and one of the interviewers had obviously spent a lot of time studying my application...she had things highlighted, post-it notes, things written in the margins -- that really impressed me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I wish I could think of something negative...something I can latch on to if I get rejected! haha. Honestly, it was a great experience.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Didn't know there would be a practitioner from Knoxville on the panel, but I liked it. My practitioner spoke a lot about the sense of collegiality that she feels as a graduate of the school, the experience she had as a student, etc.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

There were veterinarians from the faculty milling about to meet and greet with students, and they were really helpful. None of the students really knew anything about the practitioner on my panel, but the faculty did and filled me in so I had a good feel for my panel before I went in to interview.
