How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback on SDN. Researched current events in vet med. Prepared questions to ask the interviewers.

What impressed you positively?

Teaching hospital was nice.

What impressed you negatively?

Interview was less conversational than others and although it was open-file, I was not asked about my experience/preparation (my questions were entirely situational/ethical and financial).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The interview dates could have been more structured. I wish there had been a Q and A or student panel (like other schools had). I was not welcomed when I arrived for the tour, and actually had to track down someone to begin my pre-interview essay. I felt like the admissions office did not take an interest in the students there for interviews, and actually decided not to go to the pizza mixer because of it. The only faculty that spoke with me were the ones conducting the interview.
