What impressed you positively?

Very organized day! Everything was planned out very efficiently and the school facilities, students, and faculty were great!! They tell you the admission committee's decision in about a week and a half.

What impressed you negatively?

Downtown Milwaukee is kind of depressing...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Once you get called for an interview, everything rests on that. They don't care about the numbers anymore, so your acceptance or rejections rests solely on your interview.

What are your general comments?

Really great experience overall. Had one admission committee member as an interviewer and a 4th year student. The student was tougher than the committee member, which turned out to be the norm for many of my fellow applicants. Not too bad though...I got my admission letter a week later! :)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
