How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I researched the most commonly asked questions, visited every part of their website, looked into the school's history, formulated questions to ask the interviewer, spoke to a student that attends the school, and wrote down points that I wanted to make sure I discussed during the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. The southern hospitality vibe rings through out the school. I was also impressed by the cutting edge building and sheer attention to detail to help create the most refined learning environment possible for the students. They are developing the entire 220-acre property to cater to the students that will be attending the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, I was blown away by it all, I truly enjoyed my time there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I could have submitted a letter on intent as well as a list of updated activities before the admissions committee had gathered for their meeting to accept or deny applicants.

What are your general comments?

This is a wonderful school with a great staff. The small hometown feel will help students who look for a more "one on one" setting with their professors. The staff are always available and will go out of their way to help you succeed. The levels of kindness and respect are unparalleled and will ensure a learning environment where anyone can excel and reach their goals.
