Interview time

Adam applied to vet school clear back in September. 

He applied technically to Washington State. 

Utah State has partnered up with Washington to be able to get more students into vet school. 

What does that mean?

Well, it means that we are here for two years then off to Washington State for the last two. 

Just last month we heard that Adam had an interview for this month!

He just did it yesterday! Oh my goodness! 

What was it like? 

Well it sounds like there is a panel of vets who decide if you are man/woman enough 

to make it through vet school. 

They like to ask about your chemistry... 

They also like to ask you questions about specific vet issues.

They also want to know how you are going to pay for vet school (seriously? student loans!) 

So glad the interview part is over. Now we have to wait two weeks to hear back from them!!! UGHHHH!!!

I got to go to a mix and mingle type of social with Adam last night. 

While there you get to talk to students who are working on their first year of vet school, professors, and vets. 

It was interesting to talk to different people going into the same professions with completely different plans. I learned last night there are vets who specialize in fish. I had no idea. 

They also had a question and answer session for those who are interested in vet school and those already in attendance. A wife raised concern about how students manage to juggle everything. 

It sounds like none of the vet students work and that their spouses do (poor Adam) 

so they put in the time they need to study and try very hard to be done at 5:00 every day 

just like a job. The weekends they try to focus on family time and fun. 

Meanwhile back in Washington we have friends who are at vet school there and the husband is going to vet school and working two jobs... he is also someone who doesn't need a lot of study time. 

Everyone is so different. I know that vet school will be doable and I know that it will take a chunk of time but so does work. We can't wait to hear back and see what our next step will be.
