      "In terms of its veterinary medicine program, I know that it is one of the oldest in the country. I also know that there are options to apply for residency, later on, to help with tuition, which is why I was so interested in your program."

      Stephanie's Feedback

      This is a great start, but I suggest doing a little more research and sharing your findings. Are there academic aspects of UT's veterinary program that stand out from other institutions? Are there specific professors that you're especially interested in learning from? This question is a great opportunity to showcase your understanding of UT and how you would align with the campus community. Use this as an opportunity to pitch yourself!
