What impressed you positively?

the sim lab, nice facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

A lot of the students are nasty/jerks, I think they were mad b/c of the amount of $ they have to pay b/c they didn't get high enough scores to get into a better, AND cheaper school. : (

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That a ton of students get interviewed on the same day.

What are your general comments?

A groupd of 8 students are given a very simple, mock PBL case and 2 people watch you. I think it's completely pointless, that "interview" doesn't tell the admissions ppl anything about you.
