How did you prepare for the interview?

Searched typical behavioral based questions on the internet. Reviewed my animal and life experiences and tried to pair them up to possible questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The program really tries to prepare students for the ''real-world'' by emphasizing problem solving and team work through Patient Based Learning modules. (aka PBL's) One of our activities was talking through a PBL case as a group. This gave me a better idea of whether this innovative learning style would work for me. Opportunity to do 4th year rotations anywhere in the world. Close to Cal Poly Pomona, where students work with large animals.
