What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How intending to pay for vet school? When is it okay to lie to patients? Hardest class and how you think it'll help you for professional school?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

None were interesting, since they were all things I'd seen on SDN and were pretty straightforward.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

The one about disease outbreaks. I had several answers, luckily, but wasn't really expecting it, and they seemed to be looking for a specific answer that I didn't give. Though they did seem a little surprised by my wildlife answers (since I'm small animal focus). The vaccination question, since I blanked on vaccination laws, heh.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was super friendly and positive. They didn't try to trick me. The school was lovely. In the waiting room, they had really outgoing students talking to us (voluntarily, in their free time!) and a really cute yellow lab.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The hospital was nearly empty in the middle of the day during the week. There didn't seem to be a lot going on, and everyone seemed to have plenty of time to come talk to us about things (which was nice, but I was curious as to why they weren't busier). I had to walk all the way across the building to the place where we interviewed from where we waited, which was kind of awkward.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they are allowed to ask you "illegal" questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

WSU seems really lovely and they have some of the nicest people I've ever met. I had 2 professors interviewing me and a "vet from the community."

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Rewrite the interview notification. It was little awkwardly written and not really positive.
