What impressed you positively?
The people! Absolutely the friendlist vet school. Manhattan also turned out to be more geographical interesting than the other places I have visited in KS.
What impressed you negatively?
One of my interviewers didn't seem to be paying attention during the whole thing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I looked into the school a good deal but I still felt I didn't have good questions about the school that I should have. (I think the nerves got to me)
What are your general comments?
I came out feeling really confused. One interviewer seemed really interested while the other made no eye contact. He did respond to alot of things I said though. The current students at KSU were incredibly friendly. They made me feel right at home. My overall interview was mainly ethical questions but I have heard that each panel is different.
