Tell us about a time when you had to take charge.
What zoonotic diseases have you seen?
Why do you want to be a veterinarian?

What was the most interesting question?

They led up to asking me about horse slaughter in a roundabout way. Not a direct question, I had to supply the answer and what I knew about it. Luckily I had been reading about that very topic during my solitary pre interview lunch at a restaurant with free wifi.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Review my application and peruse SDN interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The professor on my interview panel. He was so exuberant and interested and got me excited about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour. Our tour guide was not great, and we were taken around after hours so all we really saw was a lab, some dark and locked rooms, and a lot of maroon hallways.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the hotel I booked was completely sketch-tastic. It was outdoor entry (not advertised!) and random people were pushing shopping carts around the parking lot and the second floor walkways at all hours. I did not feel safe there on my own.

What are your general comments?

Tours should be led by faculty during a time when applicants can actually get a real look at the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
