How did you prepare for the interview?

"I read interview feedback on here, read through the K-State website (particularly the student/faculty handbook), read news articles and positions on the AVMA website, and went to the information session the night before." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"Everyone I met was incredibly helpful and the day flowed smoothly. I like the setup of the anatomy lab. Also, I appreciate that the complex is in one area, rather than spread out, and that students are encouraged to go into the clinic during the first year. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"There didn't seem to be much going on or many people around at the hospital. It was a Sunday, but they do see emergencies. I guess I just expected it to look busier!" Report Response

"The pizza event the night before was actually at the student union, not the veterinary complex. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I knew I liked the program before I went to visit, but I was even more impressed than I expected to be! There seems to be a very strong emphasis on student support and future career success. My impression was that if something you're interested in is not available on their campus, the faculty/staff will help you find it somewhere else." Report Response
