SDN, going over my application, mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

The new facilities are very very nice! And everyone had nothing but positive things to say about their school.

What impressed you negatively?

That the interviews are so much later than any of the other vet schools. It didn't really leave a lot of time to make a decision before the VMCAS April 15th deadline.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I kinda wish they had someone outside handing out parking passes instead of having us park, pick up the pass, then take it back to the car. No a huge deal, but a little annoying.

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed with both the school and the city.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
