Knowing where you are applying will help them better understand if Mizzou will meet your specific needs and educational desires or goals. Be transparent when answering this question but be sure to avoid saying anything offensive such as 'this school is my last choice.'

"The University of Missouri is one of my top choices for veterinary medical school. I have also applied to Kansas State and Iowa State University as they are close to family and locations where I would like to practice as a veterinarian in the future. More importantly, however, Mizzou offers a strong caseload in companion, equine, and food animal species and opportunities for collaborative research, instruction, and preceptorships. I appreciate that the MU College of Veterinary Medicine's preceptorships are supported by a new database system and a preceptor coordinator, ensuring that I am guided toward the opportunities that best match my interests. The more I learn about the University of Missouri, the more confident I feel that this school would be an excellent fit for me."
