"Ummm...I think I covered that in my essay; you might want to read it again."

I must say, this is a good stress-reliever!

Fire away folks---I'm going to bed. 😴
 
What a fun thread! How about this one in response to "why are you interested in our school?"

"Because everyone needs a safety school."

Ouch!
 
Ohohoh, I know:

Interviewer: You mentioned in your supplemental that our school is your top choice - why is that?

Student: Oh yeah, I did say that, but honestly, I can't remember why anymore.... It's the same reason I tell my dates they are gorgeous - I think it's what they want to hear, and it will help me get in!

😀

"You need me."

"I want to save all the unwanted puppies/kittens in the world."

"Well, I got that "C" because the professor was out to get me."
 
Q: "Why did you apply to vet school?"
A: "I've already been rejected by med schools three years in a row, but I suffered through two semesters of o-chem and I'll be damned if it goes to waste."
 
Q: "Why do you want to become a veterinarian?"

A: "Because I look good in a lab coat!"

(someone told me to say that as a joke haha)
 
Q: "Is this school your top choice?"

A: "If you admit me, it will be!"
 
Q: "How do you feel about hunting?"
A: "Animals or people?"

Q:"What will you do if you don't get in?"
A:"Well, first I'll *cry*, then I'll get drunk, and then I'll come up with a way to tell everyone 'No, I DIDN'T get in this year'. Of course, I could strive to become a manager at McDonald's..."

Q:"What will you do with your DVM degree?"
A:"I can't possibly answer that since you haven't admitted me yet!"

Q:"Why not pursue a career in human medicine?"
A: "I'm here for the VET interview, right? I don't understand the question."
(roll eyes for full effect)
 
Q: Why a vet and not a vet tech?
A: Vet techs spend too much time with the animals!
 
Q: Why vet med?
A: The money. It's all about the money.
