Veterinary Science Graduate Certificate from UofI
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My interview is tomorrow and I'm so nervous! Anyone have any advice? For those who have interviewed before, is it conversational/open file, or do they ask specific questions off a list?

Mine last year was definitely conversational, and I'm pretty sure it was open file. I think they have a few questions that they want to ask, but the conversation can go in different directions depending on how you answer. My advice would be to know your application really well and take time to think before you answer. They're all really nice there, so just relax and it'll be over before you know it. :thumbup:

I just had an interview today and it was completely conversational. There are two interviewers and they asked me a lot about my experiences that I listed on VMCAS.

Does anyone know how long after an interview we find out if we are accepted? I'm OOS and interviewed yesterday if that helps.

They called the people accepted on Thursday the 15th last year, and then waitlist and rejection emails came the next day.

Does anyone who interviewed yesterday (1/30) know the names of the Spirit Committee interviewers? I walked out in such a daze my memory was wiped.
 
I emailed Mr. Sellars and he said we can expect to hear 12 days following the last at-large interview which is scheduled at 4:30pm on February 7th.

I had the Spirit Committee on Tuesday and I can only remember the faculty name, which was Christopherson.

Hey guys! I interviewed today with the Nova committee. I am an at-large applicant. I was wondering what everyone's experiences were with this interview committee?

I had a great experience with Dr. Lofton and Dr. Lea on the Nova committee. We had actual discussions rather than me just answering questions and them taking notes, which made it easier to settle into it.

Hey! Some people were saying we should hear on the 15th of February or the following week. If you are accepted, then the Dean will call you. The area code is 334 (I'm almost positive) and it should say Auburn, AL. If you are on the waitlist or denied, then you will receive an email the day following the phone calls of acceptance. Good luck!

Thank you! Do you know if by any chance she misses the call if he will leave a voicemail? Or will accepted individuals also get an email regarding their acceptance later on?

No problem! If she misses the call, then Mr. Sellars will leave her a voicemail to call him back and he will transfer her to the Dean. Hope this helps!

Yes, there is a professional dress code (no jeans, sweatpants, etc) and class attendance is mandatory. I am a current student and the best things about Auburn are the amazing faculty, friendly people, and our teaching hospital is #1 in the US. You also get experience with practicing physical exams with real animals in spring of first year and the shelter vets club has rounds at the humane society every month to further practice your physical exam skills. Other clubs provide more hands-on experience with wet labs and rounds. Not sure how early other schools do surgery classes, but our surgical experience occurs spring of second year and continues into third year. As a vet student you have access to the main campus rec center so you don't need a private gym membership or anything. The town also has unique local shops and restaurants, and plenty other experiences like the dog park, arboretum, nature center, art museum, etc. Opelika, AL is about 15 minutes away and Atlanta is 1.5 hrs away, providing more shops, restaurants, and experiences for you to enjoy your life outside of class/studying when you have time.

Hope your interview went well & if you have other questions, feel free to pm me :)
 
Does anyone know much about research opportunities for DVM students at Auburn? I'm interested in their DVM/PhD combined program as well but can't seem to find much info on that through their website!

Hey guys! For those who have interviewed, did you take anything into the interview? Like transcripts or what not. I did last year but didn’t touch them during the interview. And I keep rereading our emails from Auburn and can’t find anything that says we should. I interview tomorrow morning and just want to be sure!

All I brought in was a notebook. They have already thoroughly read your entire application.

Did they ask any surprising questions or was it just conversational and wanting to know about you as a person? I’m so nervous but also just so excited!

I interviewed with Valor on 2/4 and it was my favorite interview by far. So conversational and I felt really comfortable, initially I was nervous but after talking to the interviewers for a couple minutes, I felt much better

I loved my interview I felt so hyped afterwards
There were no suprising questions they just asked me about my packet almost exclusively and talked about my unique experiences.

They have a summer scholars program where you can complete a research project with a faculty member. You'll receive a stipend during this time. As far as the DVM/PhD I believe you apply for the PhD once you've received an acceptance. If you have specific questions reach out to Dr. Bartol's office, he's the associate Dean of research and interim graduate studies director. You can find emails for him and his admin, Amelia, on Auburn's website.
