Throughout your interview with the KSU college of veterinary medicine, your interviewers will try to get a feel for your future career aspirations. That will help them learn about your best possible training path during your four years in their program. If they specifically ask if you plan on going into business for yourself, they expect you to be open and honest about your plans.
