How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and I searched online for questions that were on the UF pre-vet website.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers seemed to respond positively to some of my answers. They were nice and willing to clarify questions or restate the prompt if I wandered and asked, lol. They also gave me information about operation catnip, which I liked because I like spay/neuter and would like to be involved.

What impressed you negatively?

This school is a top choice for me, so nothing except that Gainesville is not my favorite city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I learned that clinicals start a bit earlier than they may at some other schools, so this made the program more appealing. There are many opportunities to be involved, and if you take advantage of them you can graduate with more experience than I thought possible.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Mrs. Chaparro and Mr. Orsini are doing a great job! :).
