"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." Report Response
"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
"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. " Report Response
