How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback and forums.

What impressed you positively?

Nothing.

What impressed you negatively?

Disorganization. Brevity of interview. Apparent disinterest of interviewers (I think I got the "firing squad"). Comment made by one interviewer. Lack of information given by admissions when I was there (we received a folder with a bunch of papers to look at ourselves instead of people talking to us/explaining the info or telling us about the school and why it's a great place to be). Lack of interaction with students/faculty.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that there would be so little for people visiting the school to do/see. I felt a lot more welcomed/courted by other schools that I visited, even just for the day to interview.

What are your general comments?

I did not get a good impression of this school before I visited and after I went there I felt like I wasted 7+ hours of my life driving there for nothing. I know that many people love Auburn, and I hope that those people get a change to go there for vet school, but I won't be one of them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I think the materials sent out to applicants need to be presented better. I got an impression of disorganization from my interactions with the university and admissions office. I also got very curt responses when I made my call to schedule an interview. I know it's stressful, but I always try to be nice on the phone, and even this short conversation make an impression when there is little to go on otherwise, :(.
