How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed both my personal statement and the experiences of the vets I worked for. Additionally I followed the blogs on SDN for tidbits like interview dress and how to act accordingly at the interwiew.

What impressed you positively?

The tour,I had never seen a large animal intake facility and it was definitely an eye-opener .

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The lack of things to do during the day long interview process. They should have planned more for the interviewees to do all day!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew that this is a marathon, and at any time during the day you could have an interview or a tour and they just won't let you know until 7 am the morning of. I am so lucky that I had my father come with me. He got an all day parking pass and was able to wait around til I was done with things and take me away to eat lunch or see a movie. You can't stay at the Vet school all day or it will drive you CRAZY.
