The interviewers want to know that if you were accepted into the University of Tennessee, you would have the support required for your demanding veterinary school workload.

"My family is incredibly proud of me for attending veterinarian school. My father is especially keen as he graduated from the University of Tennessee veterinary program. My parents and older brother live in the area, so I will have a powerful and encouraging support system should I be accepted into the University of Tennessee. In addition, my grandparents are excited about my career choice and are funding two years of my schooling."

While many applicants may think the interviewers are asking about emotional support, they also want to see if your family financially supports you. Veterinary school is expensive, and the interviewers want to ensure you have the financial help you need to succeed.
