What impressed you positively?

Friendly student body. Breakfast with the dean.

What impressed you negatively?

No financial aid presentation, no presentation of anything at all - just a brief interview and student tour. MSII student told us he lied, saying he wanted to go into primary care, just because he thought thats what the ADCOM wanted to hear. Also was told they'd let me know of their decision in "a few weeks" whereas KCOM informed me within 5 days.

I could have shown up and gone home 20 minutes later (after the interview).
