How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed website, read over application, discussed questions with friends, faculty, advisor; etc. Reviewed basic animal knowledge that I was rusty on.
What impressed you positively?
The other vet students I met with. They were relaxed and easy to visit with which, in turn, helped me relax somewhat. Also, everyone of the students that I visited with were very nice.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities were not as state-of-the-art as I expected. The interviewers, for the most part, seemed cold and disinterested in my responses. However, I did get in so I guess I wasn't too boring.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interview was more of the get-to-know-you type than the relentless grilling I was expecting. Mainly I received questions based off of my application.
What are your general comments?
Went to a waiting room and checked in and had my picture taken. There were snacks, drinks, and vet students there to answer questions. Then at my time I was taken by a vet student to a couple of chairs outside the room I was to interview in. The vet student stayed until I was called in. Then I went in, met all of the interviewers (2 faculty, 1 practicing vet). Then they began by having me tell them about myself which then led to questions. It lasted a little under 30 minutes. Afterwards, I went on a tour with some friends of mine who also applied.
