"Dr. Howard, the Dean of Admissions made everyone felt very welcome. I enjoyed the interview process. It was very organized. The only stressful part was the interview, once I got over that, I love the tours of Ames and the school." Report Response
"I interviewed on a Saturday, so I know that classes and most procedures were not in session. The school tour went through the small and large animal clinics. I wish I had seen more activites. I did meet the school cow and got to rub his head and nose :-) I know that some tours got to observe spay and neuter procedures of feral cat colonies. I can't wait to get accepted into a vet school so I can work with animals all day and night long. One other thing... I really wanted to buy a Iowa State Vet-Med shirt but the bookstore did not carry it." Report Response
"Everything was as expected." Report Response
"I had a great experience at Iowa. Thinking back, I wished that I told my interviewers more about my hard-core science experiences. We mostly talked about my managerial experiences due to the way the questions were framed. I wish I balanced my soft and hard science background better. The only downside is that I am OOS (i.e. tuition). " Report Response
