How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, wrote a couple of outlines for the essay questions, practiced answering questions like. "why do you want to be a vet?"

What impressed you positively?

The vet said she had paid off her loans in 9 years! Also, she had no issues finding jobs even though the school wasn't accredited at the time she attended.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More ethical issues...I answered with animal testing for cosmetics and the number of animals that have to be euthanized in shelters but I could have been more specific/had less generic answers.

What are your general comments?

We interviewed in a coffee shop which stressed me out because it was sometimes hard to hear what she was saying...also it was distracting during the essay. However, it did give the interview more of a relaxed feel- I probably would have been even more stressed if we interviewed at her office.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None.
