While veterinarian schools have a very competitive atmosphere for admission each year, admissions teams want to ensure that they have well rounded candidates who come with the academic skills in the sciences and drive to succeed in the fast paced world of veterinary medicine. On top of that, finding candidates that match well with the culture and team at their institution is also important. In giving you the opportunity to talk a bit about yourself during your veterinary school interview, your interviewers are looking to hear you check a few different boxes. First, they need to hear that you you have prepared yourself for veterinary school by completing the required prerequisites for their program. So make sure to do your homework here on the program. Next, they'll look to hear that you are a motivated individual that is willing to put the time and effort in to succeed in a long and grueling program. Last, they want to hear you talk about the people skills you will bring to ensure you will fit in well with faculty and fellow students.
