What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
that any student interviewed after 2/27/06 is not considered 1st tier and can at the most be wait listed! They cannot be immediately accepted (although they could obviously move from a wait list to an accepted position), so after this date, I was told every other student would be interviewing for wait list and post bacc positions (but none are told this, they all think they have just a good of chance of getting in the program) - this was told to a group of us by Norma, their admissions coordinator
