What impressed you positively?

"The facilities are gorgeous! The actual classroom buildings are kind of old, but they have an almost brand new equine and large animal clinic that I loved!" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The interviewers didn't seem that interested in me personally, which is so different from what everybody says. I felt like they spent too much time following a set format of questions and not trying to relate them to my interests/application at all. Also, I was not impressed with the admissions staff. And having a separate application is quite a pain. Also, I could not get a hold of admissions AT ALL between getting the interview invitation and my interview (I couldn't talk to anybody until the day before my interview)-very stressful! Granted, it was during the holidays but still they should have considered that before sending out invites." Report Response
