How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoctor, went over my secondary, AACOMAS, MSUCOM website

What impressed you positively?

The interview was very conversational. He genuinely wanted to know more about me and he was familiar with the area that I am from in Illinois. The campus is gorgeous; it is THE college town.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost; out of state students should expect to pay about $62,000 a year. Also, the student who took us on the tour didn't show us much and she certainly didn't sell the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The REAL cost. I knew it was expensive, but I thought they were including a whole year's tuition. It turns out they were leaving out summer tuition. The school is year-round.

What are your general comments?

I really though MSUCOM was a great school, but I don't think any school is worth $62,000 a year; especially when they're raising tuition 10% next year. The people were very nice and the campus was great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
