Interviews

On-campus interviews are offered and encouraged of applicants selected for further consideration after academic and experience evaluations are completed. A zoom option will also be offered for invited applicants. If invited, attendance at the interview is required.

Applicants are evaluated on communication skills and personal attributes. To demonstrate an understanding of the profession to the Admissions Committee, all individuals interested in applying to the College of Veterinary Medicine are encouraged to have animal- and veterinary-related experience. All other experiences such as employment, research, extracurricular activities, volunteer/community service are evaluated as well.

After interviews during an application cycle have concluded, the Admissions Committee meets with the Dean to determine the members of the incoming class of students. Offer statuses are made on the basis of academic profiles, integrity, character, communication and interpersonal skills, leadership ability, animal- and veterinary-related experience, all other experiences on the application and overarching knowledge of the veterinary profession.
