There were really no students around since it was the end of the semester so we didn't really get a feel of what the students were like.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Out of state tuition is ridiculous - with fees, tuition, etc. it comes to about 60,000 a year!
What are your general comments?
The interview was a bit stressful since it was two interviewers at the same time. The interview was also very structured and there were two different portions of the interview. A portion of just questions where the interviewers gave no feedback and an informal portion where interviewers could ask you anything.
