8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, my pre-personal statement freewrite, read a bit about behavioral interviews, brainstormed some anecdotes that might be useful. Still got stuck at a few points though.

What impressed you positively?

Students and faculty all raved about the WUHS experience (then again, they don't show us the dissenters at interview day). PBL sounds like a great way to learn- it's easier to be engaged in a discussion than in a lecture, even if the material is interesting. Lots of real-world experience in many settings starting early. Not having a teaching hospital seems to mean that they focus more on the students than on research or notoriety.

What impressed you negatively?

Pomona is a drag. It's just charmless, as is the campus. I hear that their are cute areas nearby, though, and I believe it. Many people (even in the vet field) haven't heard of it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

They explained how the interview works at the beginning of it. It's okay to repeat things from our application. It's okay to pause and reflect before answering. Whenever I answered in generalities, they would ask for a specific instance that exemplified what I was saying. Like tell us about one conversation, or one interaction. That was tricky. They take notes and remain pretty inexpressive.
