💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell us a little about yourself.
What was the most interesting question?
Tell us about a positive interaction that you had with a client at the veterinary clinic you work for.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I looked at sample veterinary school interview questions on the internet and thought about how I might respond to each one if it were asked.
What was the most difficult question?
If a client of yours was moving and brought in his/her perfectly healthy 7 year old dog to be euthanized for this reason, what would you do? Do you think that this is a good solution?
What impressed you positively?
The interviews were well organized, friendly veterinary students were present to answer any questions, and everyone from the admissions office was very nice.
What impressed you negatively?
I did not like that LSU's annual Open House was held on the same day as my interview. I feel like I did not learn as much about the veterinary program as I could have without that chaos. Because I spent a lot of time and money applying to LSU and traveling to my interview, I would have liked the day to be more focused on the potential veterinary students.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had realized how hectic the day was going to be and how hard it was going to get a good tour of the facilities. I also wish I had known that the Army Veterinary Corps recruiter was only going to be available for a few hours.
