How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

looked over my application and personal statement, read about the school, looked at the school's website, read up on current events

What impressed you positively?

the admissions staff was very friendly and helpful

What impressed you negatively?

I felt like the admissions committee was trying to make the interview as uncomfortable and intimidating as possible. The questions they asked were vague and several didn't have a lot to do with why I was interested in a veterinary career at all. One of the interviewers didn't look up at me once because he was behind a computer the entire time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I prepared a lot but felt totally unprepared during the interview. I wish I had practiced relaxing more!

What are your general comments?

I was not impressed with Auburn as a school, and I didn't think the admissions committee did a very good job of making me feel welcome and excited about the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
