"I was happy to know about my interview status in December before the holidays but there is a lot of wait time in between, especially after the interview where I am waiting to know my results. I know there was the unfortunate situation of the weather but it is not fun having to wait so long to hear back."

"The supplemental application setup is primitive and should really be updated so that progress can be saved under an applicant's name and accessed later. The fact that it has to all be done in a word processor is extremely inconvenient. At interview day there were no opportunities for tours of the facilities and so I still do not know what the conditions of the facilities are. I feel that this is something that is vital to the interview day experience and to making a decision on attendance to a school. I have not been to a single interview day that did not have tours except for LSU."

"Sending out some type of letter explaining that the interviewers understand that we are nervous and are not there to set us up with trick questions would be helpful! A veterinary student told me "They know you're nervous but they make you feel comfortable and the interview is more laid back than you would think." I immediately felt better afterwards and thought "Why can't LSU tell us that?!""

"The interview preparation packet I received did not adequately prepare me for the questions I received in my interview. According to the packet, I was to be prepared for ethical questions and questions related to current veterinary trends. I studied up on both of those topics very thoroughly, but was asked nothing along those lines. Instead, I was asked to make a personal statement to open the interview (I was unaware of this), and the questions were to come from my statement. I was completely prepared for an interview I never received. I did well during the interview, I just wanted to comment that the preparation guide misled me in terms of what to expect. I don't know if my experience was unusal or the norm, but it definitely added to my stress level during that time."

"I really have no suggestions. The Admissions committee and the way they work out everything is great. They are super attentive with the students regarding any questions they have, everything is aswered as soon as they can do it and they do it the nicest way. I love the fact that your account status online is pretty much updated every few days so you know if your checklist is complete or not (as opposed to some other universities, where nothing is updated and you have to call). I personally think that both the Welcoming Reception and the Interviews were carried in a very organized manner, the fact that some interviews got pushed a little later was not the admissions fault, the weather complicated things and there is no way admissions could help that. Overall, I would say that the admissions process for LSU has been the easiest one to work with, at least from the universities I applied to."

"The interview process was organized, and as efficient as it could have been. In the future, I'd suggest some basic courtesies to keep in mind while students are waiting for their interviews in the designated waiting room.
Friends that come to offer support are wonderful for those applicants that have them. Conversations between friends and family, especially those that offer unsolicited advice, can be a source of stress and distract the other candidates from being able to focus."

"I really appreciated the students giving us a tour of the veterinary school and facilities. I learned a lot more than I think I would have on the self guided tour and it helped me get a better feel for your students. However, because the tour was during the open house it was sometimes impossible to hear what they were saying and I feel I missed out on some useful information. I think running the tours a little earlier in the day on Friday would have been great because I felt much too tired to stay up for the tour after the orientation lectures.
I had a great time,I enjoyed the campus and all of the faculty and staff were friendly and helpful."
