That my application was not complete before I arrived, make sure you call and check because my letters had been sent twice and they still had not received them

What are your general comments?

They have you arrive about an hour early which is nice because we got to sit in on a class and see the campus on our own. There is an orientation in the morning followed by lunch and a tour then the interviews.
