How did you prepare for the interview?

Listened to multiple podcasts from veterinary admissions representatives, and industry representatives. I also reviewed my application multiple times. Be authentic and genuine, that is the most important thing

The interview was laid back, and they catered the questions to my background and experiences, to provoke the type of responses they wanted, in order to see if I was a good fit in the program.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, very positive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

A 20 minute interview will fly by in a very short amount of time. Give thorough answers, but avoid rambling, you could miss out on good quality questions at the end.

Kansas State impressed me in many different ways, but the faculty seemingly truly cared about student well being, and success.
