What impressed you positively?

the whole day was well planned out, informative and laid back, and really gave a good feel for the school. all of the staff members, profs included, were really out of control nice, supportive, and available. i really got the feel of a strong community at vcom, minimal competitiveness. also, the technology used was beyond anything ive ever seen before.

What impressed you negatively?

i already knew this before the visit, but year round school, business casual everyday, not yet accredited, and no graduating class, so no match stats or links with residency programs established.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing.

What are your general comments?

the funny thing about this interview is that the interviewers talked about themselves the majority of the time! i had to struggle to get a word in edgewise. i enjoyed 2 of the 3 interviewers very much and they seemed very enthused about their school (the other interviewer was a bit intense in that jumping on everything you say and interpreting it negatively kind of way. i think he was just tired of interviewing.)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
