totally freaking out!
. I plan on emailing/calling to find out if they will change it, but was just curious if anyone knows from experience how they might respond?
Yes Jan 31st for me
CONGRATS EVERYONE! I got a early interview but, no early admission. Hope to be joining you all in class of 2020!!!
I am ! Are you also OOS?
Hi! Congratulations to everyone who got interview invite!! So excited for you all. I'm sure you all will do amazing. Does anyone know if they are sending invites just today or will it be over the course of couple of days. I did not get anything yet and I'm check my email every millisecond
I am on the 20th too!
Mine in on the 13th at 9 am, so ill be right after you!
Mine was at 8 am the first day too and I am not a morning person, but most likely you'll be so excited that you'll wake up no problem
http://schools.studentdoctor.net/sc...ity-of-florida-college-of-veterinary-medicine is a compilation of past questions that other users have submitted. But I would still take these with a grain of salt because every interviewer is different. Most likely you'll be asked some sort of current event question but don't worry if you don't know it. It's better for you to admit your lack of knowledge than to try and bull**** your way through the question. Also use these as a resource to help you feel more comfortable but please to not come up with responses and try to memorize them. Most likely you'll only get one of two questions similar and trying to remember a memorized response tends to make people more nervous during the interview. Just relax, breathe, and be yourself. They just want to get to know you and get a feel for your personality and passions. Also congratulations to all those interviewing and best of luck!
Thank you! Do you suggest reading up on current veterinary news? And is the interview a one on one thing or is it group interview. And do they tend to ask only veterinary related questions or do they ask about your hobbies ect?
They have an airport in Gainesville that American Airlines and delta fly into
Woo! Yea I'm OOS
anyone find any good deals? I'm from MA and the flights are like $500 yikess
I live in Gainesville, and it's actually cheaper to fly in from the Orlando airport! The one here is super tiny, so prices are really highThese flights are SO expensive though
Oh good to know thank you!!! These prices look better...haha
Its a one on three interview, so just you and your three interviewers where one is a current student, one a UFCVM faculty member, and one either another UF faculty member or a veterinarian outside of UF. What they ask depends on who interviews you, for mine it was about 25 minutes asking about hobbies and such, and the other 25 were more serious interview type questions, but others had different experiences with there interviews. As for the news I doesn't hurt to look up current major issues but you don't have to be extensive about it. Very likely you still might not know much about it, mine was about how I would control feral swine populations, which I never heard of but I just admitted my lack of knowledge but related it to lionfish population control. They aren't testing your knowledge or judging you on your opinions, they are just seeing if you can think logically and critically, and that you have beliefs in which you can support them with reasoning.
You can also fly in to the Jacksonville airport if that's any cheaper than Orlando or you can also try Tampa. Jacksonville is the closest to Gainesville, and Tampa and Orlando are about the same distance away.These flights are SO expensive though
I only hope I can be as lucky as you with Penn next week!
These flights are SO expensive though
I was thinking of making a trip out of it anyways and decided to get a rental car - I did find some cheaper jacksonville flights too so thanks!
Are guest welcome on tours and other aspects of the interview day? Other than the interview itself of course !
I had not even considered calling, but now that you mention it I am wondering if we should
She actually responded to my email the day after I sent it. Maybe call to be certain she got it!
I didn't get a response! I did send it on Saturday though, and yesterday was a holiday so maybe I'll get something today
️ I guess i will keep checking there is still hope
