How did you prepare for the interview?

Spent some time walking down memory lane, pulling examples of times where I showed networking, quick-thinking, communication, "leadership," etc.

What impressed you positively?

I loved pretty much everything about the school. I found the curriculum to be the most impressive aspect of the program, but everything is pretty top-notch. The students and faculty alike were very giving of their time and honesty, and I left with a great impression of the College.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the facilities are a little dated but I wasn't pushed away by them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Pretty sure I had a good idea of what to expect going into it. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did!

Great school with amazing faculty, research, and curriculum. The Equine center was pretty awesome, I thought.
