"How will you reconcile the time commitment of wanting to be a food animal vet, and also wanting to be involved in farming yourself? (I didn't answer that well. Nerves!)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What are some different areas one can get involved in with a DVM degree? (i.e. different careers outside SA clinical practice)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Do you like Columbus so far? (I answered, "No," and I still got accepted to the school. They commiserated w/me about rush hour traffic, which unfortunately was my first impression of the city.)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why do sheep make a good model for orthopaedic research? (This was specific to my work experience.)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Tell us about yourself. This was the first question and, when nervous, I think it's the most difficult to answer well w/out rambling and/or emphasizing the wrong things. I talked much more about my interest in farming than about my interest in vet med, although I think my presence there made the latter obvious." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"reviewed my vmcas & suppl. app. Repeated visits to avma.org & DVM360 for current events, although I was never asked about current events." Report Response
"The very relaxed, casual style. We were chatting as if we were out to lunch." Report Response
"Couldn't handle being around a bunch of chatty, nervous applicants. I showed up 40 mins before my interview, and wandered down the hall to be by myself." Report Response
"That I wasn't going to be asked any of the questions that I had prepared for! I really had the strong feeling from the moment the interview started that I had already been accepted & we were just hanging out, sort of killing time. SO comfortable & informal!" Report Response
"Even tho' they designate a lunch hour, no one actually says anything about it when you are there. Food boxes just get set out, and you better grab one when you have the chance! I got the last one." Report Response
