What impressed you positively?

We were also introducted to many interesting facts about the institution and its success." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

"At 10:15AM we were taken to a meeting/conference room and the Director of Admissions gave us a run-down of the school and how our interviews would go. After discussing things with him and asking questions, we were introduced to our interviewers. After the interview, we returned to the conference room, where we met up with the afternoon group of people being interviewed. We then ate lunch, watched 1 or 2 short videos, spoke with two 2nd year students and then separated from the afternoon group. We then were taken on a tour of the facilities by the Director of Student Activities and that was it! It was a great experience!" Report Response
