💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

About how veterinary medicine is a global profession and to name several current events if I could
How I handle stress
Why Ohio State (as an OOS applicant)?

What was the most interesting question?

Anything we should know about you that's not listed on your application? I took this opportunity to talk about my hobbies.

What was the most difficult question?

I was asked about how I drew blood/restrained birds. Given that I had done neither, I politely informed the interviewers of this fact and they quickly steered the topic back to a skill on my supplemental that I had listed (a deliberate miscue on their part to gauge my reaction perhaps.)

SDN Feedback

What impressed you positively?

Other applicants / current students were friendly and talkative. Office of Student Affairs extremely accommodating of special requests

What impressed you negatively?

Hospital interior somewhat dated and I saw relatively few food animals or horses on my tour despite claims of "high caseload" from the college

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interviewers were extremely objective and did not give facial cues or strong indications of how they felt about my responses to questions; it was somewhat off-putting at first but I stuck my character rather than trying to mold my answers to what I thought I "should" be saying.
