The tour was not great. There are some big curriculum changes coming but everything is up in the air now so I don't like not knowing what the curriculum will be next year.

I wish I would have known how nice/friendly the interviewers were going to be - I had been expecting them to be tough & scary.

Give us a folder instead of a bag - a folder would be much nicer and easier to carry around throughout the day.
