What impressed you positively?

the students seemed really nice and enthusiastic. they all emphasized that you have to have a life outside of school and that it's good to place things like family above school.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing major. the director of admissions recommended joining the military as the best way to finance an education. they also seemed to really push their do/mba program, which doesn't appeal to me. as you can see, there were no big negatives. :)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the neighborhood is not that bad. seriously, if you think this is a ghetto, you've never seen a ghetto.

What are your general comments?

the interview was open-file and just your basic question and answer format. one of the interviewers was a do who taught at the school and the other was a woman who worked for the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
