What impressed you negatively?

"cost,cry!! Projected total costs each year for the class of 2011: yr1-$80,768 yr2-$82,566 yr3-$78,541 yr4-$78,475 It was nerve wracking that the interview was at the end of the day. They discussed curriculum in very little detail. There was a student tour guide, and a 4th year student who came to the boardroom to answer any questions. However we had no real opportunity to talk to any other students." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"They said that 40% of students do not graduate on time. It's not as bad as it sounds, since most finish after working a couple more months in the summer. (fortunately, you don't pay any more tuition as long as you finish by sept?) Still, this can't be good. Getting chair time can be a challenge." Report Response
