How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to a current vet student, looked over my application, prepared answers to sample questions, looked up current events in vet med and global issues

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers told me what they found impressive about my application and did their best to put me at ease.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was quite short, so I did not get to tell them about all the strong parts of my application.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They just want to make sure you are who you say you are. If you mentioned a procedure or anything specific in your application, they will ask you about it. They want to make sure you have really paid attention and learned as much as you could in your experiences!

What are your general comments?

It was a positive interview, and I felt good about it afterwards. Make sure you prepare for the current events/ global issues question. It is inevitable!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The auditorium was freezing! I kept my coat on during the whole morning of sessions.
