"At this point in my studies, I am most interested in Emergency and Critical Care as I have always enjoyed working at a swift pace, and I perform best under pressure. Also, most of my volunteer experience has been around emergency animal issues. My least favorite veterinary medicine area so far is Laboratory Animal Medicine. I have not excelled in bio-science; however, I have hired a tutor to ensure my grades remain above average regardless of my natural interest."

When describing your least favorite area of veterinary medicine, tell the interviewers what you are doing to like that area more. You may be passed over for another candidate if you sound negative in the interview.
