How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I researched practice interview questions and spoke with current vet students about their interview experience.

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed by how friendly the interviewers were.

What impressed you negatively?

Of the 3 interviewers, only one person asked me about 90% of the questions. This made me feel like the other 2 were not interested.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interviewers would be so friendly and there would be some questions that would make me feel more at ease, such as, "What do you like to do in your spare time?"

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Sending out some type of letter explaining that the interviewers understand that we are nervous and are not there to set us up with trick questions would be helpful! A veterinary student told me "They know you're nervous but they make you feel comfortable and the interview is more laid back than you would think." I immediately felt better afterwards and thought "Why can't LSU tell us that?!"
