How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at sample veterinary school interview questions on the internet and thought about how I might respond to each one if it were asked.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The interviews were well organized, friendly veterinary students were present to answer any questions, and everyone from the admissions office was very nice.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I did not like that LSU's annual Open House was held on the same day as my interview. I feel like I did not learn as much about the veterinary program as I could have without that chaos. Because I spent a lot of time and money applying to LSU and traveling to my interview, I would have liked the day to be more focused on the potential veterinary students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had realized how hectic the day was going to be and how hard it was going to get a good tour of the facilities. I also wish I had known that the Army Veterinary Corps recruiter was only going to be available for a few hours.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Holding interviews on the same day as the annual Open House created unnecessary stress and chaos. I would have preferred for the interviews to be held on a separate day that was more focused on potential veterinary students.
