How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked up questions on here, talked to a few vets, did a mock interview, reached out to a current vet school student about their experience.
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was very friendly, and there were plenty of students to help you get to where you needed to go. The faculty also seemed very warm and welcoming. The vet school has also undergone some recent renovations and I liked how in years 1 and 2 students get started with clinical skills.
What impressed you negatively?
The student panel I think could have been more diverse. I'm a non-traditional student so it would've been nice to have someone on the panel that also reflected that.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the "student dinner" would be in a huge lecture hall. I would've tried to get there earlier for a closer spot.
