What impressed you positively?

The facilities.

The weather (YIKES, blizzard when I was there, it was hard to even walk in!)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I found out from interviewer when I got there that if you aren't accepted already (so before feb. 20th) you're just interviewing for a wait spot!!! :(

What are your general comments?

Everything was great, facilities, people; nice school. I only wish I knew they had filled their list of acceptances (at least before I interviewed on the 20th) before I spent all that money flying up.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
