What was the most interesting question?

There is an island where there is a rare mouse that is very endangered. There are also many feral cats. On one side you have the conservationists, on the other the spay-neuter-release people. As a veterinarian, what would you think was the right way to handle this situation.

What was the most difficult question?

What would you do if a client came in with a young otherwise healthy dog that had slammed his tail in a door and the tail was de-gloved and the owner wanted to euthanize the animal? The owner was an important large animal client and threatens to take his business elsewhere if you don't euthanize the dog.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

For the early interviews, it may be nice to have a small formal meeting where they present some basics about the school. I was able to ask lots of questions to students and faculty but I would've appreciated a basic intro to the school.
