The interview went by really quickly and I kept thinking of things that I wish I would have said, but overall it was a positive experience. I thought that it was really nice of the school to host a pizza party for the interviewees and also them to ask questions of the faculty and current students. Manhattan is really small, but it is totally worth moving there because the atmosphere at the vet school is very welcoming and encouraging.
