How did you prepare for the interview?
looked at questions, reviewed my application, looked up ethical issues/current events (both of which were entirely unnecessary for my interview)
What impressed you positively?
my interviewers were fabulous, matched up well with my interests. Hospital tour was nice. Big sib program to pass on old tests and the like.
What impressed you negatively?
Pullman is really, really, really small.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Don't fly into Pullman!!! They almost diverted my flight to Lewiston due to "windy weather" in Pullman, and I would have had to take a very expensive taxi up to Pullman. Most people said they fly into Spokane instead and drive down.
What are your general comments?
I wish it were easier to get to Pullman, but I was glad I made it out for the interview - my interviewers got me excited about the school and sold their program to me pretty well. The waiting room was full of current vet students who really made me feel at ease and kept me entertained while I waited. WSU seems like a really friendly, supportive environment and I was glad I made it out for my interview!
