Your interview team asks this question to ensure you have considered, and are prepared for, the level of work you will be committing to graduate from their program.

"I have always been a dedicated student, so I know that remaining dedicated to my school work would not be an issue while in vet school. Staying busy and learning new information have always been things that I enjoy. I am an extremely goal-oriented learner and keep a detailed calendar and planner. Some of my most challenging classes in undergrad ended up becoming my favorite classes. A bonus was that these were classes where I gained the most knowledge to bring to use in Auburn University's veterinary medicine program."

When you answer this question, be honest, but keep your audience in mind. This is a great time to discuss your passion and dedication to a future in veterinary medicine. But you'll also want to go beyond that in describing the specific methods that keep you focused on your school work.
