What impressed you positively?

The school is cheap, and the interview day was nice. Admissions committee stuck closely on schedule. Passing rates are very good, even with such a large class size.

What impressed you negatively?

The group interview sucked. You have very few chances to show the interviewers who you are. The group ethical discussion questions were too easy, so it was hard to really add anything. The area was nice, but Erie gets pounded by snow every year. Dress code for lectures seems silly. All text books are now e-text

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The school is relatively affordable and very structured. Campus is small and compact, which has its pros and cons. I was not really "wowed," but not disappointed by what I saw on campus. The group interview left a bad taste in my mouth but was otherwise a good interview day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Update whether letters have been received before just a few days before the interview. Also, returning emails would be nice.
