Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

We probably met half of the admissions committee including several of the deans.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They have very little love for non-residents. It is extremely expensive and as of now, they have no scholarship funds for non residents. They don't seem to be making an effort to get qualified non-residents to this school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Generally, it seems like a nice inviting program. If they could bring the cost down for non-residents it would be high on most peoples list. It seemed to me that my interviewer was trying to sell the school to me rather than me having to prove to him that I really wanted to got there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be nice if there was an effort to entice non-residents to come to the school. To tack on and extra 30K per year and then to offer no scholarships for non-residents makes it seem like the school doesn't really care to get qualified non-residents into the program. It would also be nice if the website specified that the charter scholarships were only for residents. I was really let down when I discovered I was not eligible.
