How did you prepare for the interview?
I looked up dieases in the news and made sure I was prepared to answer the typical ethics questions. I also found a list of interview questions from Purdue, Auburn and a few other schools that someone posted on the internet somewhere.
What impressed you positively?
I liked the campus and the small class size.
What impressed you negatively?
The school would not give your interview times until the day of your interview. Everyone had to be there at 7am and then they gave you the interview schedule and told you to sit in the hall and wait. There was a campus wide tour and the vet school tour scheduled for one hour each. The rest of the time you were supposed to sit in the hall and wait. My interview was not until the late afternoon so I sat around most of the day in the hallway.
The students also seemed overworked and unhappy.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I would have known I would be sitting around all day.
What are your general comments?
The school was nice but I thought the faculty was cold and snobby. The students were very nice.
