The interviewers want to know what you considered before sending your application to the University of Tennessee. They do not want to hear that you blindly sent out a million applications, hoping that something would stick. Share with the interviewers the consideration you put into your application.
Here are some ways you could research the University before applying:
- Talking to/interviewing alumni of the University of Tennessee.
- Attending an open house at the University of Tennessee.
- Extensive online research.
- Researching the most renowned graduates of the University of Tennessee veterinary program.
- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for recommendations.
- Speaking with a current student at the University of Tennessee, specifically someone in the program you are interested in.

"I researched several schools before applying to the University of Tennessee. After spending hours researching your website and reading news articles, I interviewed some alumni I know and spoke with a couple of your current students in the veterinary program. Last year, I attended the open house here as well. Your school left a very positive impression on me, which is why I chose to apply here."
