Why should we accept you over another veterinary student with the same qualifications?
The interviewers want to hear unique qualities and statements that make you stand out from the other students wishing to attend Auburn University. With a large applicant pool of very well-qualified candidates, sometimes their decisions on who to admit to their program come down to small things like being a great cultural fit or having the soft skills required for success as a Veterinarian.
"I'm confident that my work ethic and drive to succeed set me apart from my peers. As you can see from my resume, I've been preparing for a career as a Veterinarian from a very young age. My volunteer work and experience as a tech in an emergency center have helped me develop advanced skills in animal care, and I'm ready to hit the ground running during my first year at Auburn University."
Put yourself in the shoes of your interviewers. All the candidates have stellar grades, the drive to succeed, and the potential to be renowned Auburn University alumni. Discuss the primary reason to choose YOU over everyone else. Some things that could make you a stand-out candidate include recent volunteer work, an existing connection to the faculty or facility, a memorable and personal story of struggle and triumph, an additional degree/diploma/certification, or proof that you continually focus on personal and professional development.
