💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
We were given a prompt to discuss and develop a response to as a group. Ours was responding to animal rights protestors about terminal animal research
How did you prepare for the interview?
We got the prompt ahead of time, so I researched animal rights and fleshed out my own research experiences and their relevance
What impressed you negatively?
We only had 25 minutes to discuss, and there were 5 applicants who were strangers to each other. This interview was not designed to be introvert-friendly, and I don't think it gave people enough time to make much of an impression at all. Definitely didn't give us opportunity to discuss any other aspect of veterinary medicine
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
We each had only 1 minute at the end for questions or further comments, which was not enough
