No change 😐

What are your general comments?

On the whole it was a good experience (though there were some negatives). The new cirriculum seems well thought of and is continuing to improve (it is a work in progress). Heavy contstruction, comtinuing through 2005, is a major factor (not their fault, just bad timing for those of us applying this year).

Interview questions they asked

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the schools website and prospectus, talked with students who interviewed there, reviewed my file.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty's involvement in the school and the warmth of the admissions committtee. The day was planned to the minute and the interviewer had taken the time to read my file.

What impressed you negatively?

It was a short day (11-3), with only one interview and a quick tour. The construction going on at the school seems crippling to the environment.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there in almost zero possibility of gaining Vermont residency after the first year (and being allowed to pay the lower tuition).
