"Questions from the SDN, conversations with the admissions department."
"Practiced general grad school interview questions."
"SDN, mock interview, talked with faculty from OVC who had done interviews in the past."
"I made sure that I could back up everything that I wrote on my back ground information forms. I studied all of the basics vaccination schedules (large and small animal), restraint, animal behaviour, breeds, and any common procedures performed in clinics. Also, I made sure that I was aware of all of the ethical issues surrounding the use of animal and any current affairs related to the field."
"all the alumni and profs involved with interviews, degree of thought put into mmi scenarios"
"Friendliness, seemed interested genuinely"
"The easy going manner of the interviewers."
"Everyone was very welcoming and courteous."
"That they had my application printed and in front of them during the interview and were genuinely interested in hearing more about my experiences. Elizabeth Lowenger, the diversity and career coordinator at the dean's office met with me and my dad while we were waiting beforehand to give me more info about the school, clubs, and other students. She was so nice and friendly and I enjoyed talking to her so much before the interview that I didn't have a chance to get nervous at all."
"The volunteers were friendly"
"There interest in my work experience"
"They were not prepared. I didn't get to meet with professors or many students. It was not organized. No free parking for visitors."
"the "don't smile" policy"
"Nothing."
"I had less than a week's notice for my interview, so my travel plans were rushed, which made the flight very expensive."
"The only thing I didn't like was that I was given less than 1 week's notice for the interview. Also, the admissions office was so behind that I didn't hear back about the interview until early May, frustratingly later than any of the U.S. schools."
"nothing"
"The webpage that discusses the interview process does NOT mention that international students are interviewed differently. I thought it would be MMI, but it consisted of more general questions about my experiences and myself."
"Overall, a great experience!"
"I interviewed as an international student, so my interview was like most with two interviewers. Ontarians go through a Multiple Mini Interview process which uses eight standardized scenarios and should be prepared for differently."
"I interviewed as an international student. I believe that interviews for Canadian residents are performed in a completely different format."
"Overall my experience was positive. I have two females interviewing me. Some of the questions they asked me were as follows: How do you feel about the use of animals in research?, What was the most interesting thing that you saw while volunteering?, describe some of the books that you read this summer?, How can you tell if an animal is stressed? Why do you think that you will make a good vet? , How do you deal with stress?, What hours do large animal vets work? What are the responsibiliites of the large animal vet?"
