No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Already had gone through a couple, so didn't do much. Just checked SDN.

What impressed you positively?

Practically everything--especially the dean's presentation. She was incredibly engaging and really SOLD the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost. This school is ab 25k more expensive than either of the other schools I've been accepted to. Also, I think it's strange that a number of students said it's not necessary to attend lecture, but none of the lectures are recorded.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How difficult it might be to get home (weather complications) and how expensive it would be.

What are your general comments?

Great school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
