How did you prepare for the interview?
Thought about how I wanted to answer some of the common interview questions, prepared with a friend, tried to stay relaxed and be myself.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers were interested in you as a person and just wanted to see if you were friendly and easy to get along with. The facilities seemed up to date and technologically advanced and our tour-guide was very knowledgeable about what to expect in all four years at the school.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities looked worn down on the outside, but this was not the case on the inside.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The weather was cold the first two days I was there, but the last day the sun came out and it was warm and beautiful.
What are your general comments?
I waited in the waiting room for about 10 minutes while the interviewers went over my file. One interviewer brought me back and talked with me on the way to the interviewing room. She introduced me to the other two doctors and then we just sat down and talked about stuff that was in my application. ''Why do you want to be a vet, tell us about the hospital you worked at, what are you aspirations for when you graduate from vet school, what will you do if you don't get in?'' They were very friendly and non-intimidating. After they were done asking questions we talked about politics and living in College Station and various other things about the school. They gave me some information about when letters would be sent and scholarships for out of state students.
