💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

In fairness to the MMI I won't disclose any scenarios. What I will say is that they are asking questions to probe your own personal feelings about self management, team management, ethics - there's a wide range. I guarantee that in some way, you (the reader of this survey) have considered this scenario and how you might act. You've been preparing for it your whole life, in a sense.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on my own application, the interview format, and enjoyed the campus and experience!

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were top-notch. The anatomy lab is pristine, the lecture hall and building were super impressive, and while the small and large animal hospitals were older buildings, they're very well-equipped. I was also really impressed with the other interviewees - I felt that those whom I met were very fun, interesting and supportive.

What impressed you negatively?

There's very little about this school that impressed me negatively. I think the location is poor for some, but I'm rural-minded and loved it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there's no concrete way to prepare for the interview, other than to be yourself (generic, I know) .

What are your general comments?

I got a great impression from the school, students, faculty, and interviewees alike. An acceptance from VMRCVM would be very difficult to decline!
