How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Called for info, attended welcoming reception, read the website, studied SDN

What impressed you positively?

Wasn't very impressed with my interview committee.

What impressed you negatively?

My interview committee was very quiet and almost dull, not giving me much to work with or asking questions about my experiences even though I felt like I gave them enough bait.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The open house is extremely chaotic. The welcoming reception is not dressy. Everyone there is very laid-back.

What are your general comments?

I was not impressed that the SCAVMA president talked so much about drinking at the welcoming reception. I understand that is Cajun culture but not a way to attract serious professional students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Jared is the man. My favorite admissions director out of all the schools.
