What are your general comments?
It was a really laid back experience. You go to a room and sign in and write down the address you want your acceptance/rejection sent to. Then you have your picture taken and someone is there to show you the Toshiba Tablet computer that you would get as a vet student. There are cookies and pop avaiable. Then you wait until it is your time to interview when you are led by a vet student to the interview room. I was interviewed by 2 KSU faculty members and 1 practicing Kansas Veterinarian. Then an optional student led tour was given.
