💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Name some current global issues in veterinary medicine, and discuss one in detail.
What was the most interesting question?
Talk about a specific case you observed in your small animal clinic. How would you personally have handled this case?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reading SDN interview feedback, reading AVMA legislation, reading the OSU vet med website, talking to previous grad.
What was the most difficult question?
If you were organizing a county fair involving pigs, and were in charge of preventing an outbreak of swine flu, what are some things you could do?
What impressed you positively?
Friendliness of interviewers, ability to talk to some current students at the pre-interview dinner. Also enjoyed the city of Columbus.
What impressed you negatively?
I had a morning interview, and probably could have made the early tour, but was scheduled for the later one. Had to skip it because I had to drive home and work the next day. Maybe having an extra tour somewhere for people who can't stay late, or allowing students to opt for either tour would have been better.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
To talk slowly, and that one answer to a question is ok (don't need to offer every possible answer to every question!) Basically, relax.
