What impressed you positively?

Students were really nice.

What impressed you negatively?

Relatively poor funding compared to other schools I applied to. At times during the interview, I felt that people hinted that this was a backup school for me (which was true, but awkward to bring up). Also, my interview was scheduled so that I was done interviewing by 10am but had to sit in the common room until about 4 pm. Seemed like practicum consisted of way too much gifted & talented assessment - but that the faculty were responsive to student feedback on this and were trying to change it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More details about level of funding.
