What impressed you positively?

Very enthusiastic students, small class size, Filo is an admissions god, the sim center rocks.

What impressed you negatively?

The crazy long day (7am to 5pm) and the drive to Temple. But I can't imagine you'd be able to get a good feel for the school any other way. The nature of two campuses I suppose.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is truly an all day event - so driving for 2+ hours to my next interview the following day was pretty arduous.

What are your general comments?

Overall very positive. I went in expecting to hate the location and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. I came out thinking much more highly of the school than I went in. And they really are the most enthusiastic students as a group (ALL of the students were crazy about the school).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
