How friendly and responsive the admissions and faculty were. They also gave us candies after our interviews for Valentines day. The mentorship program was great and the pizza party and orientation were very informative.

What impressed you negatively?

We couldn't see very much on the tour, that the interviewer would grill me about 1 grade for about 3 different questions,

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that I shouldnt have been as nervous as I was: the interviewers were extremely friendly and thew in a few jokes

What are your general comments?

The vet school was pretty neat. Although it seemed a little lacking in technology, caseloads, and resources/experiences in relation to other schools I have interviewed at. I've heard mixed things about their curriculum as well. Overall, while the interview and application process was positive, I don't think MSU is the best school for me...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Absolutely nothing, the admissions office was extremely friendly and helpful
