"Admissions was 10/10 really great."
"Keep up the great work!"
"In-person interviews are costly and unnecessary. It was great meeting the staff and seeing your plans and facilities in-person, but it definitely caused a dent."
"Mandatory in-person interviews, especially coming off the heels of the pandemic, are not necessary for any real reason."
