Hey I'm not shor... well okay, maybe I am. She is right though, I will be helping out at interviews this weekend, so don't be afraid to come say hi!!!
In hiding
lol kinda. Pretty busy and also preoccupied lately with finally a good reason. We should definitely get dinner or something sometime, though!
but really, I have medium length brown hair and freckles lol - Im also one of the few married gals so that might help too lol 
Good luck to all!
Most questions are either general ("How do you deal with stress?", "What was your hardest class?"), or specific to your application yourself (I was asked about my research project and about a few extracurricular activities that I did). So as long as you know your experiences and be able to say what you got out of them you will be just fine.Hey guys, just a quick question about the interview. Should I expect a lot of specific, situational questions? Like asking about a certain disease or diagnosing a patient if they give symptoms? It's not that I'm clueless I'm just worried I'm going to freeze up during the interview and forget everything I know
Like Ashgirl, my interview last year was more focused on myself, my application and my experiences. I only had a few knowledge-based questions -- one on current events, one about something basic from a class I had taken, and one about what a certain test is for in horses. They aren't trying to stump you, but if they do ask you something you don't know, it's better to admit it and say something like "but I look forward to learning about that" or "I'll look that up when I get home" rather than making something up or guessing. They don't expect you to even begin to be able to diagnose patients at this point! If you are caught off guard by a question, don't be afraid to take a second to collect your thoughts before answering.Hey guys, just a quick question about the interview.

I interviewed last weekend and ate at Flat Branch, which was fantastic! Granted, it was the only Columbia restaurant I went to, but it was my favorite!
Sure, I would be up for a dinner get-together with some applicants
You will be absolutely bombarded with a few of these reasons this weekend, but some people pick Mizzou because:
Jealous! Wish I had scheduled my interview for this weekend instead! Have fun, everyone!Excited
It's pretty hard to plan when everyone is trying to get back into town right after break. But you'll be here in the fall, right?Jealous! Wish I had scheduled my interview for this weekend instead! Have fun, everyone!
I hope so!It's pretty hard to plan when everyone is trying to get back into town right after break. But you'll be here in the fall, right?
Hey where do you normally hang out down there? I'll stop by on a tour.
Are you sure on that number? Weather was not great during my interview day and multiple people missed their interview according to the ambassadors. But I am a numbers person too, so thanks for the updateFWIW, there were a total of 199 OOS applicants who interviewed this year... for any other nerds like me who like to obsess over vet school acceptance stats
Well from what I heard, no one actually missed it. Everyone called in ahead of time and cancelled their interview and apologized, but explained that it was due to the weather. As far as I know, it just means that they don't end up getting an interview. But yeah, my day was the last day for OOS.
Yeah, that's what I thought based off reading the previous year's thread. Strange. Well, whatever form the decision comes in... I just hope it's good news!
If you guys get decisions by email this year I will be very jealous- I remember stalking the poor mailman for over a week. Then again, refreshing your email every 5 seconds is also painful...Yeah, that's what I thought based off reading the previous year's thread. Strange. Well, whatever form the decision comes in... I just hope it's good news!
Thanks for the update!
Oh my gosh, I'm going to be so distracted at work this week! Hopefully my vet doesn't mind me looking at my phone every 2 seconds! AGHHHHHHHH!!
