Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Their "right to life" policy - they don't euthanize animals to, e.g., learn gross anatomy, etc.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not everyone is asked the same questions, which they lied about. (Found this out after speaking with other interviewees.) There are literally no lectures even though they claim there are some and all the learning comes from you reading a textbook, i.e., you teach yourself veterinary medicine (learned from a friend who is a 1st year).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everything I wrote in the impressed negatively section, and that they have no teaching hospital. Instead, they have Banfield (who I hate).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I would never attend this school. If it was my only choice, I would reapply the next year instead of starting. Almost $300,000 of debt to teach myself is stupid. PBL and absolutely no lectures or structure work for some people, but not for me. There are schools that are AVMA accepted, do case studies, lectures, and physical exams the first year. It may not be called PBL, but the school has similar programs elsewhere in nicer areas and nicer facilities.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Use e-mail to communicate acceptances. If the only form of communication between them and students is e-mail, then why snail mail the acceptance/waitlist/rejection letters? Or use the phone!
