✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed my file and looked at past interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer who asked me about my speciality interest seemed genuinely interested in me.

What impressed you negatively?

The attitude of one of my interviewers was just plain rude. He asked why I did poorly one semester and I said "I was recovering from a personal situation and had yet to be diagnosed with ADHD, both made doing well difficult." Didn't specify the situation. And he said "I didn't need that level of information, but thanks."

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they would ask me about the anatomy of a pig - farm/food is the only area I don't have hundreds of hours in.

What are your general comments?

I was really unimpressed with my interviewers. I had some pretty interesting experiences - zookeeping, research, etc - and they didn't ask me about any of it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Extend the length of your interviews and make sure your interviewers seem somewhat interested in your applicants. I had more questions but was cut off before I could ask them.
