✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I watched Dr. Taboada's presentation, attended mock interviews put on by the pre-vet club, read last year's interview survey, and planned my introduction.

What impressed you positively?

We were having more of a chat as opposed to them asking me a list of questions.

What impressed you negatively?

The tone of this interview was different than when I interviewed last year. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing but it shook me up a little.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would've known they were going to be more interested in talking about the experiences I did have rather than asking me the questions I had researched.

What are your general comments?

Very relaxed interview. One of the people interviewing comes to get you out of the holding room, which is nice. Just like last year there was at least one interviewer that is always smiling and encouraging. We were sitting at a folding table and the close proximity made me a little uneasy at times. They do a great job of making the whole process as painless as it can be. They aren't trying to break the weak, but are just trying to get to know you and hear your story in person.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
