What impressed you positively?

The entire campus seemed very warm and welcoming, the students spoke highly of the curriculum and all students and staff emphasized sensitivity and professionalism with respect to the interactive OMM classes.

The dean of curriculum was talking over the dean of students when they were there answering questions, and I felt like I didn't get the chance to hear more from her because of how long he was talking.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that it would be a 2 on 1, good cop/bad cop style interview. I would have prepared my answers to account for someone playing devil's advocate.

overall very great experience and would be happy to attend school here

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

would be nice if students gave the tour instead of admissions
