How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed questions on SDN, listened to various podcasts, attended the webinar that addressed how the interview process would go, and complied a list of potential questions. I brought this list to work with me to have my coworkers quiz me randomly on the questions. I also asked the veterinarians I work under for their input on some questions.

What impressed you positively?

Fantastic process! Even though interviews were online, it felt as though I was in the room with the interviewers. I loved the virtual tour the day before as well.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, it was great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I believed other students when they said the interview was not stressful. I had fun in my interview and was surprised how quickly the time went by!

What are your general comments?

This cycle has been amazing! The school has made exceptional efforts to communicate with applicants despite the pandemic.
