Weird Interview Nightmares?

Had a really bizarre dream last night and I couldn't resist sharing it with people I thought might actually understand where I'm coming from!

Dreamt I was on my way to my U of I interview. Showed up on time and was informed that they are running late so I should go walk around and check out my hotel, because apparently Mardi Gras was in town and I should go see the sights. As I leave the room, suddenly someone comes back and is like "TIME TO INTERVIEW!" and I have to run back to the room, and nothing but jeans and t-shirt -- not my suit!!!

They then proceed to ask me why I am not 8'8" and 190 lbs, tell me my GRE is really good for someone of my inferior social station (😵' I didn't think we even had social stations in the US.) and that I didn't get in the last 2 years I applied (this is my first year) is because one of the adcoms went to school with my mom --thought she was a *buckcherry song here*- and said that they didn't want a psycho in their school. But this year they were adjusting their standards, so I might get in.

Then a crowd of people meander into the room to watch the Super Bowl through the large glass window at the back of the room, cutting my interview short.

Obviously, interviews have been on my mind, but jeeeez. That'll teach me never to eat pizza before bed again! 😛

Anyone else have some bizarre vet school dreams to share?

Haha, thanks! o.o! I woke up very confused like "...why would an 8'8" veterinarian even be useful?"

Giraffes?

 

[Crazy Hippos]

LOL! I had acceptance dreams during the time when we were waiting to hear from CSU & Cornell. Boy was I disappointed when I wasn't accepted!

 

[cowgirla]

My worst was an acceptance nightmare:

Mississippi called me up in the middle of the night and said "we're pleased to accept you, if you choose to accept this spot, we will need you to pay four years tuition in cash within 24 hours"

It sounded like one of those kidnappers you see on the crime shows who want ransom.

And I said "But I'm still waiting to hear from one other school. I thought I had until April 15?"

"No, there was a giant hurricane that washed away all the other schools. We're the only one left, so either you pay, or your dream of being a vet never comes true, MWHAHAHAHAHA"

I woke up crying, begging for an extension on the money.
My dog was looking at me like I was nuts. I thought for sure it was real.

 

[Castaway12]

I had a dream that when I was sleeping my blackberry (which is always by my head) notified me that I got an e-mail...opened it to see VMRCVM had accepted me and I went back to sleep.

Turns out I woke up and got an e-mail from Borders Book Club instead.

Talk about a let down.

(the VM acceptance did come 3 hours later though haha😀)

I had a dream that I was going to my Mississippi interview and I had to pick my dad up from the airport to go with me. His flight was late, so I had to miss the pizza party AND he forgot to bring my suit from home so I had to go into my interview with jeans on.

So it wasn't anything that imaginative, but it scared me because it could have happened!

A couple of weeks before my interview at WSU I had a nightmare that I showed up to my interview in the trashiest lingerie ever. The worst part was my Mom had helped me get ready and we both agreed it was perfectly acceptable attire. Then I showed up and the interviewer was like "WTF are you wearing?" and only then did I realize it was inappropriate. I told him that I had to act in a movie after the interview (I shudder to think what kind of movie that was!) and that I didn't have time to change in between. It was pretty horrifying.

All things- LOL.. this had me in stitches.

 

[twelvetigers]

These are hilarious! They also make me glad that my dreams are usually completely irrelevant, because I'm sure I could manage something way worse if it came to that. But I'll just dream about badgers instead.

I'm actually having trouble sleeping at all sometimes - I have good days and bad days. Also, I've already lost four pounds, and the interview is nearly two weeks away... I have to try to make myself eat or my pants won't fit, lol.

thought she was a *buckcherry song here*

You can say bitch on here. 🙂

 

[rileydog]

The night before my LSU interview, I had a dream that they sent a letter to my hotel saying they didn't like my personal statement and decided they no longer wanted to interview me. Not as bad/funny as some of yours, but it woke me up!

I haven't even applied yet and I'm already having weird dreams...

I dreamed that I had an interview somewhere (I can't remember what school it supposedly was) and the interviews were being held in the basement of a building that I recognized as my junior high school. The other people interviewing were all wearing cheerleading outfits and they all had the nerve to look at ME funny when I walked by them when it was my turn to interview. Also they didn't even ask me questions in the interview. It was like they made me come and meet someone just to tell me I was accepted... if only things were that easy! However, I'm pretty sure this dream ended with me not actually getting accepted because they mixed me up with some other girl with my first name even though my name isn't super common. That actually happened to me in real life with a job so I will always have major doubts if I ever get in! 😳

Not a nightmare but actually happened at the airport on the way to an interview. I carried my suit on the airplane but had to valet it for the flight because it was one of the little planes with no overhead space. Someone grabbed my bag with my suit in it by accident and the airline wouldn't call the person's name over the loudspeaker to notify then before they left airport. After panicking about having to wear the clothes I had on for my interview the next day I ran down to baggage claim and luckily found the person who had taken my bag. I then found out at my interview the next day that the local airport is notorious for loosing luggage and they have had many speakers come who have had to present in their khakis they wore on the airplane due to lost luggage.

Not really an interview dream, but closely related, I suppose.

A few weeks ago (after my interview), I a had a dream that I got a letter from Kansas State. The first paragraph was pretty long, saying all the things they liked about me from the app and from the interview. The second paragraph was my rejection, and I read it and was totally crushed, woke up with tears in my eyes. Spent the next couple weeks hoping the dream wouldn't come true.

Wow...I would have had a heart attack

 

[HandD42]

Well I had a funny one this summer about being at my MN interview. I discovered there was a vampire interviewing as a student so I (politely) pointed out to an adcom comittee that there was a vampire pretending to be a pre vet student. Anyway I got kicked out of my interview for being disruptive and completely destroyed any potential chance of acceptance because I did not complete my interview. Moral of the story is if there is a vampire at your interview just let them be😛

 

[savannah sunset]

Yeah I did until I found the person with my bag. I nearly pounced on them when I spotted it. I was not leaving the airport without my suit.

Note to self: Do not inform adcom of any potential vampires or any other creature that goes bumpinthenight trying to gain acceptance into school.

Related note to self: Should that individual gain acceptance, make sure to remember their name and cross them off as a potential room mate.

I recently had to get into an additional class for Western at my local community college (blasted western pre-reqs). In addition to california budget cuts making the college cut classes, i didnt know bout the pre-req until the first week of couses at the community college. As a result I had to petition a class by going to all of its lab sections (about three a day for a week). In each of the labs there would be about thirty other petitioners, they would have us all write our names on slips of paper and would then draw about four of these names and let those people into the class-- i never got drawn... it was awful (happy ending--talked my way into another hopefully qualifying class).

Anyhow, thats a lot of backstory for my Davis dream: I dreamt that interview invites were actually just invitations to be on an interview petition list from which they would draw, out of a hat, about 5 in every thirty people on that list who would actually get to interview. Four people had been drawn from my group (none of them me) when i woke up in a cold sweat.

I can't wait to get the interview out of the way and move on to nightmares about rejection/ acceptance/ waitlist.

 

[turnbackhelly]

This is a great thread!

Real life backstory: I took immunology fall semester and had a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE lazy prof who would barely teach and then give us mean take-home exams on which he would ask minute details about stuff that we (purposely) never talked about in class. Oh, and our final was supposed to be 2-hrs in class, but a week before the exam date he changed it to a 30-pg take home paper, telling us to "think of it as a term paper" (...except you're giving us 6 days notice, in the middle of finals week?! with a term paper, you usually know about it for the whole TERM... yes?) Anyway, point being I got a B+ by the skin of my teeth but still can't really tell you anything about immunology. Extremely stressful class.

So a few days before my Penn interview (which happened over winter break, so I was done with immunology) I had a dream that I showed up and my ONLY interviewer was one of the emergency CVTs I work with. I thought I had it in the bag since she and I get along well and she knows that I'm a generally normal, intelligent, capable human being... but then my entire interview consisted only of questions about immunology. I sat there looking at her like "SERIOUSLY?!" Most of her questions were procedural relating to the final lab project that my class was supposed to complete (but never did because our prof didn't have his **** together). By far one of the worst dreams I've had in my life!

Wow! I am glad I am not the only one with strange dreams!!
The night before my VMRCVM interview (it WAS snowing outside before I went to bed), I had the most horrible dream.
It went like this:
I woke up and got ready for my interview only to find out that I couldn't open my door to leave the house because there was so much snow blocking the door. I had to crawl out of my kitchen window to get out. Realizing that I couldn't get into my car either, I practically swam through the snow to my neighbors house. I found their riding lawn mower miraculously undisturbed on top of the snow. I stole their sons' orange sled, shoved the lawn mower onto it and then attached their motor for their boat to the back (it was pretty ingenious, even for a dream). I got the thing running and sped off for my interview. I discovered, as I neared where the vet school should have been, that I couldn't find it because the whole school was burried in snow!! I sped into down-town, where I could see some buildings that weren't burried and found that they were holding the interviews at the pub. I suddenly found that I had forgotten to grab my jacket in my confusion on leaving the house and by then had gotten frost-bite in my fingers. When I tried to sign in, my fingers broke off and then they told me that I couldn't interview because they couldn't accept a student with no fingers!! I woke up confused and horrified and had to check to make sure that I could get out of the house and that I still had all my fingers!! Thank goodness I could say yes to both .

That has to be the craziest dream i've ever heard of

I haven't even applied yet and I've had those dreams.

My most recent:

My mom drove me to my interview, which was at the agriculture college and not AVC. There was a huge field in front of the building with a swimming pool. I fell into the swimming pool. Shrugged it off and went into the school to do my interview. There were about 20 of us crammed into a tiny room with some sofas and the interviewers were going around with a clipboard, doing their part of the interview in this little room in front of everyone. The first interviewer was my bowling coach! I don't remember what she said but she was all a smiles. The second interviewer was my Biology 202 professor (hardest biology course in our university and I did mediocre on account of illness). So naturally I was freaking out because the professor of my worst biology class was asking me questions. Someone tapped him on the shoulder, he set his clipboard down next to me and left. I snuck a peak at the clipboard. I was forth on the list with 84 out of 132 possible interview points. I was livid! Then I looked down the list and half of the people had scores in the 40s, so I wasn't feeling that bad.

That was it 😛

And I haven't even gone through the process!
