How did you prepare for the interview?

I studied veterinary trends in the profession and found sample interview questions online.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the current students in the waiting room, really tried to answer all questions and to calm our nerves.

What impressed you negatively?

No negative comments; too stressed to notice

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The style of the interview; I was prepared for a different set of questions than the ones I received.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a nice experience. The interviewers were a bit intimidating and some of the questions caught me off guard, but they finished on time and did not keep me waiting very long. The students were helpful in answering any questions we had. I love the facilities and the location of the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The interview preparation packet I received did not adequately prepare me for the questions I received in my interview. According to the packet, I was to be prepared for ethical questions and questions related to current veterinary trends. I studied up on both of those topics very thoroughly, but was asked nothing along those lines. Instead, I was asked to make a personal statement to open the interview (I was unaware of this), and the questions were to come from my statement. I was completely prepared for an interview I never received. I did well during the interview, I just wanted to comment that the preparation guide misled me in terms of what to expect. I don't know if my experience was unusal or the norm, but it definitely added to my stress level during that time.
