Your passion for the overarching field of veterinary medicine can often be the determining factor in your admittance into the Kansas State University college of veterinary medicine. In asking this question, your interviewers want to hear you passionately talk about a figure from the history of veterinary medicine and why their story resonates with you.

"If I could meet anyone in the history of veterinary medicine, I would meet Dr. Sophia Yin. She was a trailblazer in force-free and positive reinforcement training for dogs. She developed many admirable methods and training options for veterinarians and pet owners. Animal behavior has always fascinated me, and she has been a great figure in the history of veterinary medicine."

This is a personal interest question, and you cannot give a wrong answer here. Before your interview with Kansas State University, think back to any of the founding fathers (and mothers!) of animal medicine. Talk about what they had to overcome and how you relate. Also, don't hesitate to consider what they discovered/created/invented that you admire so much. It's also a great idea to think of the most burning question you would have for that individual. Add passion to your answer so your interviewers can sense your interest.
