What groundwork did you do before choosing to apply to OSU College of Veterinary Medicine?
The Admissions & Recruitment team at OSU wants to know which considerations you put in before choosing to apply to their university. Share with the admissions interviewers the care you put into your research. Some methods of consideration could have included:
- Attending an open house
- Extensive online research
- Talking to/interviewing OSU alumni
- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for recommendations
- Researching notable OSU College of Veterinary Medicine graduates
- Speaking with a current student at Ohio State University, specifically someone in your program of interest
The admissions team does not want to hear that you randomly sent out endless applications, hoping something would stick. For that reason, be sure to highlight the careful consideration you put into your application.
"Before applying to Ohio State University, I researched the school's mission and values to ensure it was the right fit. I was very pleased to find that OSU places a significant focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. I also conducted three informational interviews with OSU College of Veterinary Medicine alumni and asked for their feedback on the program. Then, I researched the financial aspects of Ohio State and compared them to other schools that I was considering. After taking a campus tour, I knew OSU was the right fit for me."
