Read this website, re-read my VMCA and supplemental apps.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really nice and I really like the ease at which an OOS student can achieve IS tuition.

What impressed you negatively?

They seem to be taking in more students than their classrooms and labs can reasonably handle.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I could park in the unmetered spots!

What are your general comments?

All in all, a good school. If accepted, it's a more than viable option for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I thought it was a great experience. Only thing I can really fault is that for those of us flying from far away, it's a pretty big expense for only a 15 minute interview.
