What impressed you positively?
The interviewers were wonderful, I had a great time in there. We were all laughing and telling stories, it was very conversational and flowed easily from question to question. The facilities are nice, and I was pleasantly surprised by the town of Manhattan. Tour guides were knowledgeable, and I was pleased to hear about the mixed animal caseloads.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the "economy" rental cars don't have cruise control, which is horrible when driving from KCI to Manhattan!
What are your general comments?
Loved it. Loved the school, actually enjoyed my interview. There were no off the wall questions, nothing that really stumped me. I was surprised they didnt bring up my grades or my GPA or anything like that. There were a few questions about various experiences, and a few strictly behavioral questions. Only current events question was regarding horse slaughter, although a few other topics just came up in the course of the conversations.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
None, I had a wonderful time and was very impressed by the school, the interviewers, all the student ambassadors, and I felt that the interview went really well.
