What was the most difficult question?

Honestly, I was not asked anything difficult or unexpected. It was pretty conversational. Though I do feel I had a difficult time phrasing why exactly I want to go into vet med and probably didn't state it as eloquently as I would have liked!

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students and faculty. Everyone seems so genuinely happy to be there! The professors really seem like they care about the success of all of their students.

What impressed you negatively?

As many people have said, the surrounding area isn't the greatest, but all in all it's a great school and program, and if accepted I will definitely attend.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, really. I think I went into it pretty prepared. As everyone else has said, it is a very laid back atmosphere. I still was quite nervous going into it, but there really wasn't any need to be. Just be yourself and you will be okay :). If you get an interview they are confident you can handle the program, they just want to get to know you a bit more as a person.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it seems like a fantastic (albeit expensive!) program, and I will absolutely be attending if I get accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
