💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How did you like ____ (my undergrad institution)?
Not really a question. "What I really like about your file is that you have a lot of teaching experience, and I find that being a veterinarian/vet student requires just as much skill in teaching as in learning." I was expected to respond to that in a more conversational way I guess?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Interview feedback on SDN, current/previous students/interviewees

What impressed you positively?

How friendly they were & how enthusiastic about the school & its programs all the staff/students/admissions are. How they don't try to trick you or ask anything random just to see how you respond. The events on interview day--panels, tours, financial aid talks, etc. to really get you interested in the school. Connected LA & SA hospitals. No terminal procedures to teach surgeries, other invasive procedures

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing to do around there, no on-campus life.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing...no surprises. I had a great experience.

What are your general comments?

Really friendly atmosphere. Just like everyone said, the interview's like a conversation. I honestly wasn't sure how I did coming out of it because I didn't really get to talk much, the two interviewers talked a lot more about their work, research, programs, etc. than I did about myself. I remember being asked that one question about how I liked my college. The rest of it was conversational. I asked questions throughout the interview, so I kind of got awkwardly choked up at the end when they asked (twice) if I had any additional questions. A few of the conversations they started I wasn't sure if I responded well. I guess it was good enough though since they ended up taking me! One of the interviewers wrote a little note on the letter I received a few days later saying congrats.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
