💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about yourself. Why K-State? Why vet med? (All in one question!)
What was the most interesting question?
As a veterinarian you will work with mainly other women. Do you feel that you are “one of the girls” and can go out socializing with them? Or do you feel that you should separate yourself from them? Tell me about how women veterinarians that you’ve worked with have handled that situation and then how you would.
What was the most difficult question?
What is something really interesting that you learned in a biology class?

At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read SDN interview feedback. I prepared for the "tell us about yourself," "why K-State" and "why vet med" questions. For the other questions I just read over them. I read up on some current events in vet med as well but wasn't asked that.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers certainly weren't out to get you. They were very friendly. All of the students were very nice. I also liked that everyone gets their own desks in the anatomy lab.
What impressed you negatively?
I wish the hospital had been open when I was there or that more students were around (it was still winter break and on the weekend). Everything seemed very empty when I was there.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the questions asked at the pizza party could all be found on K-State's website! I knew all of the answers to the questions that people asked.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Put together a more concrete informational session. I wish there had been more planned events for the interviewees.
