Hey everyone! I am a first year student here at LMU as well. So now you've got a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year to help with any questions. From what I remember last year, they did not start sending information about interviews out until late August, early September. The interviews last year started towards mid-September. They interview everyone that meets the minimum requirements as another part of your 'whole package' so if you're lacking in another area such as the GRE or GPA you might be able to make up for it in the interviews.
If you are worried about material you might or might not learn here at a 'new' school, don't. The professors have been amazing so far, they even bring in professors from around the US to give lectures based on their expertise. For example we have Dr. William Muir teaching us cardiac physiology and he has worked for The Ohio State University CVM for many years and has won numerous awards for his research and teachings in the cardiac field.
For the woman asking about a job for her husband, there are numerous parks, trails, and federal land that an Ecologist might find a good job close by.
If anyone has questions feel free to ask any one of us currently here!
