I wasn't in the actual interviews but just about everything else as an ambassador. Our committee members are all fantastic this year and almost everyone came out smiling and even made them laugh.
No trick questions, primarily application based. Just a get to know you type of conversation in a formal setting.
Everyone yesterday absolutely nailed dressing to impress, looked perfect 👌
Looking forward to meeting many more of you today! You got this 😊
PS: you will be told today at the banquet but we had a record number of applications this year at 2000 and this was narrowed down to around/just above 300 so they already like you and would love for you to be apart of the next cohort so don't stress about that. Shake the nerves off (easier said than done!) Go in and show em why you!

Sorry that I'm not there, except in spirit and hopes for her success. Perhaps we may meet when she's accepted... *positive thinking* 😊

The whole process was lovely today! Good luck to everyone tomorrow!
Side note does anyone from the area know of good coffee shops, nice place for a drink, cute little shops? My flight back home is cancelled and the first plane they can get me on is WEDNESDAY so I’m stuck here a bit 🙁

I am so glad I went in person. You get a lot of info about the school and to see the facilities obviously. I also felt like they covered A LOT In just a 15 min interview. I got asked a lot of questions, maybe 7.
yes the tour would be nice! i toured the campus already with my pre-vet club otherwise i would have considered going in person!

Does anyone know if they have virtual tours or info sessions about the program?
There will be several info sessions over zoom once decisions come out including a virtual student panel and a "meet mizzou day" for those accepted/waitlisted.
I personally have never done a virtual tour as an ambassador but that does not mean they don't exist! I would email Doug Tindall our recruiter to ask if that would be possible.
Tours are offered everyday pretty much as long as an ambassador is free, same if you are wanting to sit in on a class 🙂

When is the last day of interviews for virtual and in person?

I’m not sure for virtual but I believe for in person it’s the twenty sixth of this month

I think the 26th weekend is the last weekend of interviews. I could be wrong though
All interviews will be completed the last week of January. The in person weekend 25th and 26th. Zooms to end the month out. Committee has about a week to review and Kathy has the next week to make sure all grades are in/scores updated and getting the Dean's stamp of approval prior to sending out decisions

I am interviewing in person on the 25th and am a little confused about the schedule. For the tours during the in person interviews, it says that tours happen as interviews conclude, and the schedule has tours going from 9-10:30 for the morning. It also says that the tours are an hour and a half long. Are there multiple tours that start at staggered times during that window? Or is it one tour that lasts for that entire 90-minute time slot? I have an afternoon interview time so I'm wanting to do the tour in the morning but am not sure what time I should try to get there.
Tours are somewhat staggered throughout the day. Our 1st tour will go out in the morning probably around 9:30-10a. Tours depart based on if there is an available ambassador ready to go and if the group is large enough (like to have minimum 3-4 groups/families ready prior to departing)
Tour length is dependent on the ambassadors experiences giving Tours and we'll as how many questions are asked by the group. My Tours for example are on average are between 1.5-2 hours which encompasses the whole school as well as the VHC (teaching hospital) with a fair amount of questions!
There may be 1-2 in the morning that leave (again dependent on those 2 factors I mentioned) tour after the banquet lunch/student panel around 2pm and then 1-2 more in the afternoon.
The whole banquet start to finish will be from 12:10ish-2pmish (concludes with student panel)

This makes me feel slightly better, I have been sick to my stomach about not answering the first question well, I hope it did not make or break me and set the tone for them for the rest of my interview [emoji853]

What was the question??
We aren't supposed to disclose that.
Hello everyone! I’ve got an interview coming up soon, which I’m super excited for, and I was wondering if anyone on here could point me in the right direction for some more interview prep.
Can anyone say whether questions regarding animal anatomy or clinical care typically pop up or if it will be mostly regarding our individual applications and motivations? Additionally, I’ve been told to prepare for situational questions and to be asked on my opinion on recent topics in vet med. Are these all to be expected? I understand if that can’t be disclosed! Thanks so much in advance, all advice is appreciated 🙂

I had mine already. What I can tell you is this — I was prepared for this and I didn’t have to use any of it. This interview is 15 minutes long. You just kind of have to… know it? I am sorry if that isn’t enough but the most important thing is that you are confident.

We need to wait until everyone is done interviewing but I’m so curious what the question was! I can’t remember what my first question was 😅
Best of luck and safe travels to those interviewing this weekend!! See ya there 😊🐯

Good luck everyone! I did a virtual interview a few weeks ago. What is the campus like?
We have our academic building and teaching hospital across the parking lot from one another. All is separated from main campus which is super nice. We have the typical academic building features (lecture halls, classrooms, Cafe, clinical skills lab, library, laboratories, etc.)
Hospital wise, we have small animal, food animal, and Equine with a whole lot of specialties and cool technology. We also have a Raptor ward and mule barn.
Interviews (with the exception of potential zooms this week, unsure)...are complete for the CO 2029 cycle!! I just wanted to come on here and say those I had the pleasure of interacting with during in person interviews this year, ya'll were amazing and I would be lucky and honored to work alongside you as colleagues here. You dressed to impress, despite the nervousness had the best personalities and enthusiasm and asked some of the most difficult yet best questions during student panels and tours.
No matter what your decision is come mid February, please give yourself some grace and a pat on the back because this process is mentally/physically draining and YOU DID THAT!!
A waitlist is not the end, full disclosure I was waitlisted myself and was fortunate enough to be pulled off a week after the deadline and now we're here, doing the thing 💯 so don't get too down on yourself if that happens, its not a no and admissions pulls quite a bit from their waitlist each year (varies of course).
As always holler if you have any questions (email doug for tours/class sit ins etc.) and I hope to see you at VET orientation and in the halls this Fall!
Best of luck with other interviews u may have still, and the rest of the cycle

Thank you for all your help and support we all appreciate it!!!! Good luck everyone on the rest of the cycle we got this💃💃
For anyone who had the pleasure of an in-person interview, would you share highlights about the experience? Zoom was great, but it feels disconnected from the excitement!
Hi, everyone! I was curious if anyone knows if they usually just email all admissions decisions or if they also call for acceptances? I just want to keep track of which area codes i should be answering calls from because I get so many spam calls but don’t want to decline the call if I’m lucky enough to get one (if you know mizzou’s please feel free to comment it below [emoji23]). I wish everyone the best of luck!!!!

I don't know about how they send out decisions, but the area code for Columbia, MO is 573 if you're wanting to look out for that

I believe it is an email, but I could be mistaken

I go here and one time Kathy (admissions assistant) called me and the caller ID said the University of Missouri even though I didn’t have it saved so watch out for that!
Initial decisions in mid February will be an email. If you are waitlisted they will try to call first and if they aren't able to get ahold of you, an acceptance will be sent via email either way

I think the hardest part of the application process is the waiting. Having a young baby has made this waiting so much harder. It’s hard to not know if we are selling our house and moving or staying put another year. Anyone else seriously struggling with the waiting?
I admire your commitment so much wow! I thought the waiting was hard for me, but truly can't imagine how you're feeling! Wishing you well the rest of the cycle!
Yes! The selling the house/moving across the country/looking into a job transfer for my husband makes me antsy.

YES! I so get this. The house, and my husband getting a new job and moving away from our families with a baby is so stressful. It’s hard to choose this dream. I know it’ll benefit our family years down the road but it’s hard making the intense sacrifices now.

Do we think that we could possibly hear this week since last year decisions came out 2/7? Or unlikely and we should just wait for the following week (or two)?
