Reddit mentions of An Introduction to Veterinary Medical Ethics: Theory And Cases, Second Edition

I applied from outside as well, so I recommend you start the application process now since you need your courses approved as an outside applicant and their turn around time is horrendous, it took me almost a year of back and forth e-mails since the person on the other end would take over a month to reply.
You have a chance, it worth a shot I got in with mid-80's, I know people who got in with low 80's, but we also had the MCAT at the time. We'll see in fall what the average was for the first class without the MCAT. The best way to improve your chances is to get your grades up(sorry it sucks). Get lots of varied experience, it doesn't even have to be vet related necessarily, do stuff that puts you in a leadership role. The interview was the best part for me, some people found it very stressful, so I recommend practicing(ask people to interview you or friends of friends you don't well works because it will make you uncomfortable, ask you career services at your university to help, they probably have a prep program geared toward Med-students, but it will help) , I recommend getting hold of this book the scenarios in here are good for understanding how to build you argument when taking the interview, you don't have to agree with what he says.

I'll keep an eye on this account for the next week if you have any questions.

From my understanding, the MMIs are kind of a weird format, and unfortunately you don't have the opportunity to talk about yourself / why you want to be a vet / what you bring to the table etc etc. Your resume and letter of intent should speak for themselves in that respect.

From my understanding, the MMIs are basically a series of scenarios (the format is based on med school interviews). Reading up on recent vet journals is a great place to start, and you'll probably want to read up on CVMA position statements as well - both are a great way to find out what the big issues are.

I'd also recommend spending some time learning about veterinary ethics. There's a whole format for making ethical decisions... you need to identify all the stakeholders, all the possible solutions, who would benefit/be harmed by each outcome, and how you would come to your decision. This book would be great to have a look through, if you can get your hands on it.

Good luck on your interview!

If you are preparing for an interview to get into veterinary school, might I suggest Introduction to Veterinary Ethics by Rollin? Its a nice approach, and at the very least will help you organize your answers in a logical way. I particularly like how he breaks it down every ethical question into five key areas: what are my duties/responsibilities as a veterinarian to myself, my profession, the patient, the client, and society? By examining each ethical question in from these five perspectives you can be assured that you have probably explored the issue from every angle. My final recommendation would be to chose a final path. By all means explore the options, discuss pros and cons, but at the end say what you would do. They don't want to to be wishy-washy and then avoid coming to any final solution.

If you have additional questions regarding interviews they might be better answered on the sub r/veterinaryschool - although it can be rather quiet there.

This! Like have people actually been presented with the choice? Because honestly most times it's the lesser of the two evils. It's very easy to sit and judge when you've never been the one to say yes I'll do it for this cat to live or no I wont go find someone else or lets euthanize. If people are interested in developing a more rounded view of ethics I'd recommend the Rollin book
