What impressed you negatively?

They done goofed by being one of the only schools to require in-person interviews and would have made a way better impression by hiding the campus behind a virtual screen. Conroe, Texas on its own is bad enough, the campus itself is like a dilapidated shack that looks like somebody bought a condemned office building and tried running a sketchy side-business out of it. The school at the time of this review is unaccredited, which in and of itself isn't necessarily a deal-breaker; new schools have to go through a long and daunting accreditation process. However, a serious red flag is that even with their most senior class on the cusp of graduation, they haven't even been able to gain provisional accreditation so they can apply to residency. And they were, for some inexplicable reason, PROUD of this. The administration is clearly a disorganized mess, and most of the interviewers seemed like they didn't want to be there. Okay campus on paper, super scuffed in person.
