I'm not going to share specific questions that I was asked, but think along the lines of a job interview! Are you good at working in groups, how do you overcome challenges, what problems do you see facing this profession, etc. They definitely skipped any softball questions that could have eased me into the interview, just went straight for "tell me about a time when....." Most schools will probably ask the "why do you want to be a vet" and "why do you think you're a good fit at our school" questions so definitely be prepared for those no matter where you are interviewing.
I'm wondering the same thing?
How was it? Mine is within the next hour or so.
For those of you who have interviews, when did you take the Casper? Took the Casper on the last available day but wondering if they’re all finished with interview requests.
I took the Casper on the last available day as well, and I received my interview request on the 3rd. I think they’re still interviewing for a few more months, so I wouldn’t lose hope!
I took CASPER on the last day available, too-- but I know they are still interviewing for a while so don't lose hope yet!
It was really short- but good! The interviewers know what they're doing and they're really prepared with the questions so it went smoothly. Even had time to ask a couple questions at the end. Hope yours went well!
I feel the same way. I also tried to paraphrase my stories with the time limit being so short. They never cut me off while I was talking, and I got to ask about three questions. But I’m second guessing the stories that I told now because I feel as though they needed context that I didn’t have time to go into.
I have the same thing in the portal! I interviewed on 11/9. Everythign went smoothly so I have no idea if it affects anything. Let me know what you find out!
What portal are you talking about? I don’t know if I ever had an LMU login
I saw that same comment too!! Definitely made me nervous for a second there, but I truly don't think they've sent out any class of 2025 acceptances yet.
So I did see this on Facebook- the person who got accepted posted about it in may- so I’m assuming she got accepted last year and then deferred to finish her masters. I haven’t seen anyone else post any acceptances.
I am a first-time applicant, and I am also 37 years old. I have not received an interview invitation, but according to the last email I received from LMU-CVM, they are conducting interviews until January/February. It would be nice if the acceptance process did not take so long, but I remind myself to be patient and refrain from assuming or concluding anything that is not based on official/direct information from LMU-CVM. I hope to be accepted this cycle, but I also have a backup plan, which helps with reducing anxiety and stress. Regarding interview nervousness, I did a mock interview back in September, and I plan on doing another once I get an invitation.
I also have backup plans, however, I remain hopeful for my original plan. I am sure everything is shut down until after thanksgiving. Hopefully December will bring us all some good news! I think the waiting is the worst part. I am trying to remain focused on finishing to the last week of finals and assignments for fall 2020, but it is hard to not check my email constantly. Best of luck! Please post if you hear something.
Be yourself! I've posted my experience earlier in this thread but the gist of it is that the interviewers are very nice, but also on a time limit. Make sure you are confident, concise, and definitely practice some of the most common questions you'll probably be asked at any interview to make sure you can answer them in a very short time frame (why do you wanna be a vet, why do you wanna go to this school specifically, what are your strengths/weaknesses, etc) Congratulations and definitely keep us updated with how it goes!!!
I did also! Congrats! hopefully we both do well and get in!!!!! Best of luck!
Oh man, me too. Congrats! I'm praying I hear something soon too 🙏OOS interview invite!! I honestly started to give up on this school!
Sorry for the taking so long to respond! I was avoiding this thread for my own mental health 😬 Basically, I was told not to worry about the red x, and that all future interview invites would be sent through email. I was starting to think I would get a rejection, but I actually got an interview invite today! Woohoo!
Congratulations! Best of luck and I hope we all get accepted!
Good to know they are still giving out invites! They are my top out of state school as my family is 20 minutes away.
They sent me an auto-generated confirmation email with my interview time right after I selected the date/time!
Interesting...I didn't get that email. I looked in my spam and everything. Thanks for letting me know! I'll give them a call tomorrow morning.
I also did not receive an email for my interview time but I emailed them and they got back to me within a day!
If I remember correctly that’s it! Then you have an optional Q & A on Wednesday
Congratulations on the interview! I am sure you did fine!
Do you happen to know if the interview was closed or open file?
I think from what I’ve heard they send out about 50 offers in December and then the rest around March
Closed fileCongratulations on the interview! I am sure you did fine!
I did, but there was probably only 1-2 other people that did in my group. Everyone else was in sweatshirts/t shirts so I don’t think it matters much.
