💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

What was the most interesting question?

If you were in our position and you had one seat left to fill in the class would you choose the applicant with the best grades and test scores, the one with the best experience and letters, or the one with the best interview. Why?

What was the most difficult question?

You are an associate veterinarian at a small animal practice. You are not the boss. A client comes in with her cat. She is incredibly frustrated because the cat has been urinating all over the house despite her efforts to prevent this behavior. The owner is insistent on euthanizing the animal even after you have explained all of the options. What do you do?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN. Then I had my sister look at the questions and do a mock interview with me.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the interviewers. At times they were very candid during my interview which helped me to relax, I had expected them to be more stone faced. The students that were giving tours were fantastic. Very well informed.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt well informed going in.

What are your general comments?

Its a great school and the interview day left me with an even more positive impression than I already had. Mr. Orsini is wonderful and so welcoming. His door is always open despite how busy he is.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. The interview day was wonderful and well organized. I greatly appreciated how transparent Johnathan Orsini was with us about the process and when we would find out our status. He even told us how many people were interviewed for in-state and OOS vs how many spots were available.
