How did you prepare for the interview?
Read interview feedback, went back over my application (especially my personal statement), kept up with some current events in vet. medicine, and went over K-State's website.
What impressed you positively?
How FRIENDLY everyone is! Students, faculty, staff, and the town in general. Also there were many opportunities to take tours of the school. It was neat to learn about the zoo that is located 10 minutes away from the college, and the opportunities that come along with it.
What impressed you negatively?
I felt like I did not get to say as much in my interview as I wanted to; I guess it seemed too short to me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How expensive it would be to rent a car! It was my first time renting a car, and it may have been cheaper to fly into the Manhattan airport than Kansas City after the car rental fees.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
None; everyone responded to my questions quickly and thoroughly, and staff and faculty are extremely friendly.
