How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my application, my personal statement, a paper I had written involving my interests, read a book related to my interests, read over common diseases and current veterinary news on the internet, and I looked over past questions on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were really helpful. They gave me more information on some programs that may interest me if I got into the school. Missy was really helpful, and I loved the fact that we had mentors.

What impressed you negatively?

A speaker I was really interested in hearing speak did not show up to the orientation before the interview, but no one knew that was going to happen.

I wish I had studied the smaller things I had mentioned in my application.

What are your general comments?

Most of the questions were based on my application.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I would like to see mentors assigned a little bit earlier in the process.
