✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read feedback on this page and feedback from University of Minnesota (also a behavioral interview). I also did a couple of mock interviews through my school. Most universities offer this, even if there is no pre-vet program. Look into it!

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was incredibly laid-back and friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT ANY EXPERIENCE TWICE! So make sure you have lots of different experiences lined up, and have some way of cycling through your experiences in your head in case you blank. Also, ALL of the questions are behavioral ("tell me about a time when..."). You don't need to say why you want to be a vet, etc.

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None - Jack MacDougall is very helpful. You should message him with any questions.
