💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about your undergrad - which school you went to, your activities, your favorite class, and your least favorite class.

What was the most interesting question?

The behavioral questions were interesting - they aren't asked at the other schools I had interviews at.

What was the most difficult question?

It was a question about the Tennesse Walking Horses and soring them. I like equine (but don't want to specialize in it) but was not overly knowledgeable about the subject. She then proceeded to talk about ethics and penalties about it. It was just random and difficult to respond to.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very nice and very helpful - I did the Early Admissions Interview (which included rotations with different 3rd year students) and it was great to see what the students actually did on their clinicals.

What impressed you negatively?

The small animal inpatient room smelled like feces. I expect that in the back or maybe even the exam rooms, but not where clients are sitting. It wasn't there the first time I went on a tour there though, so I feel like they made have had a very ill animal.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To relax!

What are your general comments?

Great school - Admissions is very very nice. Terri Wheldon is extremely helpful as is Jonathan Orsini. The facilities are very nice and on the clinicals the faculty: student ratios are amazing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
