✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

5 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Tried listening to NPR like they suggested but that wasn't much help.

What impressed you positively?

The vet school itself because I had never visited and was turned off by Blacksburg and the surrounding area.

What impressed you negatively?

The entire MMI structure has a very small subset of individuals that it actually helps to gain insight into their beliefs as a person.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would still hate the MMI after the interview.

What are your general comments?

I realized that because vet school is unbelievably competitive, the interviewers would not attempt to be your friend and their would be some level of intimidation, but the degree to which some of the interviewers would go to make you feel uncomfortable was not something that made me want to consider this school as a choice if I were to be accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Get rid of the MMI format
