"Not everyone is asked the same questions, which they lied about. (Found this out after speaking with other interviewees.)

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
