What are your general comments?

"I found this to be a really positive experience. The day started with an overview of the program and an orientation to our day by the Admissions Directors. Then we were passed off to student tour guides who took us through the school and the hospital. After that we went to a room with lunch and we were encouraged to talk to the students (who have a say in the admissions process). From lunch we went to our interviews at our scheduled times (we waited with the students before our interviews and could come back to chat after the interview). As to my specifics interview, when the interviewers were ready, one of them came to get me. He explained that he had read my file and the other interviewer had not. We went into the room and I was asked to tell the ''cold'' interviewer about myself. I tried to hit experience and strengths and weaknesses of my application. After that I was asked about my favorite and least favorite pre req class, how I dealt with stress and finding study time, about my large animal experience and about movies. We also chatted about my small animal clinical experience. Also they asked in general about other schools where I applied (they have this form VMCAS), and how I decided on that particular list. I found this interview low key and conversational." Report Response
