What would you think about doing research on dogs that required you to induce spinal trauma (break their spines) and then euthanize them in order to help humans with your research? Stated more delicately but this was the jist of it.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched UF from their website, talked to a current vet student, used SDN website. THIS WEBSITE IS CASH MONEY! I was only asked ONE question that was not EXACTLY, WORD FOR WORD, from the questions on this site.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewers were hilarious! Immediately put me at ease. One was laughing so hard at an inside joke he couldn't even introduce himself. Felt like they really wanted to get to know me, and the longer interview gave them a chance to do so.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, I enjoyed the interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They follow the questions on this site. End of story. Don't be worried about any off the wall questions. They even say that you can skip a question and come back to it later or take a moment or two within the interview to think of an answer (usually a time when . . .you did something).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The small animal hospital is finished and absolutely PHENOMENAL. The dean referred to it as the best in the world. The people were friendly, but not overly so. Would have liked a welcoming reception of some kind but there was none. Not much information about the program, nor did they give us any info except financial.
