How did you prepare for the interview?

I talked to a professor at my school about how I should answer certain questions. We formulated some responses, but I didn't memorize the answers. I used SDN to see what kind of questions had been asked in the past. I also talked myself up so I wouldn't be nervous at the interview.

What impressed you positively?

How informal the interview seemed. They joked a laughed with me about having worked at Subway in the past.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing I can think of

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt extremely prepared. Although I had a tough time finding the interview room.

What are your general comments?

I've had my eye on Mizzou for the past 6 years (ever since I wanted to be a vet), and I felt very confident for the interview and I think preparation is key. Just don't over prepare!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. I had great interactions with everyone at the office!
