enthusiasm of everyone about the school, the city, and the education

What impressed you negatively?

not sure if D.C. is for me, traveling there was not fun

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

DO NOT FLY INTO BWI if possible! INterviews are in the afternnon so if you have connecting flights that are 6pm or earlier you WILL NOT make it. In that area even the awful hotels are >$100 per night

What are your general comments?

Arrived there at 7:20am they say check in starts at 7:30, most everyone aws already there though. Breifings all morning until lunch. Some were very informative and dispelled any misconceptions about the school, others were boring and repetative. Before lunch they took us on a small tour of the facilities. After lunch we had interviews and were ecnouraged to go talk with various administrators at their offices between interviews. These are some of the people who are on the admissions committee so it helps to show your face and ask questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
