The close-knit atmosphere

What impressed you negatively?

The interview, the facilities, the lack of research, LUNCH!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the admissions department doesn't take their interviews very seriously

What are your general comments?

Interviewers were rude. Asked ethics questions and then cut-off during the answer. Interviewers didn't know anything about the school's research or dual degree programs. Students seemed nice. However, this seems like the place for people that have the "get in anywhere" style. If I knew the school was as is then I wouldn't have wasted the 90$ on their secondary.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
