Hello everyone! I am new to this whole forum thing so please bare with me as I am learning. I was wondering if anyone has interviewed at UT before and if they can tell me alittle about the process. I am OOS, from Texas, and have not received a letter from them so I am not even sure if I will have an interview yet but wanted to be prepared if I am lucky enough to get one.
 
If you haven't already, check out the "Interview Feedback". The link is on the top of the page and then you click DVM and then the school. It is a great resource for info on format of interview, specific questions, etc. And if you get an interview, make sure to post about your experience 😀
 
Its been a little while since my interview but here is what I remember. If you want to go on the tour, I think you have to be there at 8 or 9. Once you go in, they give you a name tag and a parking pass so you won't get a ticket. Then Dr. Brace, the associate dean for academics gives a small talk in a classroom about numbers and the interview process. The tour happens and I feel it was pretty valuable.

There is a room where you can hang out before the actual interview. There is breakfast food there in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. Professors that aren't interviewing that day come in and out of the room and talk to prospective students about the process and school. There are also usually current students there.

The actual interview has 3 professors seated at a table across from you (these groups change from day to day). They have your file in front of them and they ask you questions based on that. Sometimes the questions are out there, some are pretty tame, and it all depends on your interviewers. They last about 15 minutes. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them.

Thanks for the information. I haven't received a letter from UT yet so I am assuming I'm in the regected catagory since so many people have already got their interview letters.
