How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, researched current issues in vet med (good thing too since I was asked about it!), practiced/wrote down general question answers.
What impressed you positively?
The classrooms, etc were really nice, and the equine clinic was pretty :) The orientation/lunch/tour before the interview was informative.
What impressed you negatively?
Tour of the classrooms was really good but I didn't get much of an impression of the clinic/teaching hospital. The students also seemed not as friendly to people they didn't know as to people they already knew.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Carry more cash when I'm traveling! Otherwise you have to go find an ATM at the airport to get a taxi when your mom's flight is canceled and you can't get your rental car. So always be prepared!!
What are your general comments?
Ohio's a nice school, Columbus is pretty cute in some areas, but others seem a bit sketchy. The vet school is pretty :) Staff seem friendly I didn't get too much of an impression of what it is like to attend the school though.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Pretty good admissions office, not much interaction with them though.
