How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over VMCAS and supplemental applications, skimmed school website, read my thesis, read recent veterinary magazines, prepared and studied flashcards with common interview questions - then tried to relax as much as possible the day of the interview!

What impressed you positively?

Everything! The town is the perfect size with cheap(!) cost of living, the facilities at the school are top-notch, and the curriculum is great. Especially can't say enough about the people! Both students and faculty are SUPER friendly, kind, and trying to make you feel at home during the whole day. Couldn't be more pleasant!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing - had a great visit and it is definitely at the top of my list.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How low-stress the interview actually would be. When people tell you not to lose too much sleep over this one, believe them!
