How did you prepare for the interview?

As the interview questions were blocked by the school on SDN, I reviewed the behavioral questions from all the other schools because I figured they'd mostly be the same type asked at Minnesota.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of everyone there (including my interviewers!). I also was impressed with almost all of the vet buildings being interconnected so that you never have to walk outside.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the equipment and such at the school is a bit old (ex: lab benches have really old stools to sit on). Also, on the tour we weren't really able to see much; it was a lot of "down this hallway is this stuff, but we're going to go down this other hallway."

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How interested the interviewers would be with my answers. I was asked a lot of follow-up questions, which I was able to answer, but was not expecting that.
