What impressed you positively?

location, students excited to study here, great faculty, student life seemed fun

What impressed you negatively?

Expensive! The weather - it was raining the whole time. It was stressful and scary. My interview felt rushed and the faculty seemed unintested. It looked like she just wanted to go home (I was her last interview for the day and it was a weekend). My faculty interviewer went home right after my interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Stressful and tense. The other students were obviously very competitive. Once you get in, the students seem to get a long just fine.
