How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over questions on SDN from other schools that do behavioral interviews, researched vet school behavioral interview questions on google, listed as many examples as I could for answers to each question, outlined them in more detail to get my thoughts in order, practiced answering some of the more difficult ones aloud. There was really only one question I was not prepared for!

What impressed you positively?

The interview day was very well organized and gave me a thorough feel for the school. The students were all very helpful, very enthusiastic, and seemed to genuinely like the school. Loved the supportive, close knit relationship the students seemed to have with each other.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities could use some updating, but otherwise loved the school!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I felt well prepared and informed!

What are your general comments?

My interviewers were very straight and did not react much to anything I was saying, which I felt was a good thing, but didn't give me much of an impression on how I did in the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
