What was the most difficult question?

They asked me to discuss one interesting fact I learned about pigs while working with them in one of my classes. It just threw me a little off guard.

What impressed you positively?

The interview process was very friendly but still professional. You can tell the people at K-State are passionate about the field and really want the best for their school as well as want the best for all of the students applying. They are very encouraging.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, really. It was still a little stressful because it was my first interview and by nature these situations are nerve-racking.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I feel like I prepared well and just got luck with some of the decisions I made: I'm really glad I wore pants. Some girls wore dresses or tight skirts and they looked uncomfortable and sometimes unprofessional. Also I brought a nice portfolio to place the questions I had written down to ask at the end of the interview. This also gave me a place to tuck away my phone and carry my ID
