Read the information they sent me, looked on the website and talked to friends who had interviewed there.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities, the location, the tour was the most comprehensive I have had thus far. That they have a choice in curriculums, and that all their learning relates directly to cases.

What impressed you negatively?

My student interview. The student was obviously not well prepared, had no questions in mind to ask me, and was not very enthusiastic. That they have gone through so many mergers, they seem a bit unstable.

That there are so many CA people there, and they seem to segrigate themselves a bit.

What are your general comments?

Has the potential to be a really good school if Drexel is willing to make a finacial committment. They have great facilities, and everyone is really friendly.
