How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked on here and reviewed my supplemental app questions from here and other schools. Also looked over my personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

How nice everyone was and how they really wanted to impress us and teach us about their PBL style of learning.

What impressed you negatively?

A lot of people are not happy about the safety just outside of the campus. On campus you are fine, and they said the security officers will even walk you to your car at night.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That jet lag really sucks and not to fly from Florida to California the day before the interview!

What are your general comments?

Despite how everyone says the campus is small, the neighborhood is not safe, and there's a train that passes behind the campus ALL the time (yes, our projector was shaking when the train went by and the faculty member was assuring us it was not an earthquake!), I still really LOVED the school. Their unique PBL learning is a wonderful thing (not for everybody, though), and I feel like this school really wants to get to know who you are. They are not out to trick you or make you look stupid. This school is also in a great location because 45 minutes to and hour in any direction will get you to so many different places (deserts, forests, the beach, etc) where you can do large animal, small animal, farm, marine, zoo, wildlife. They have so many resources! Also you get a lot of clinical experience in your first two years, unlike most other schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
