"If someone is not even close to being on the accepted list please let them know sooner than later. This is one of the biggest flaws I see with Utah is their lack of transparency and openness. It seems like they send out a giant batch of rejections all at once in March. Why can you not let those applicants know sooner that they have not been accepted? Besides that, I think Utah is an awesome school." More from this Member | Report Response

"Worst application process in the entire field. First, you have to reformat your entire primary application because their secondary is essentially the exact same but with less characters. Then, once you are invited for an interview, you must first complete an online interview and essay. Then on the interview day, (besides the fact that there's no parking and I got a ticket from their campus police) they ask you to complete their own situational judgement test (instead of accepting the CASPer like everyone else). And finally they have you do 8 MMI stations which is more than any other school had. The best part is, even if they are sure that they will reject you, you will not be rejected or waitlisted until mid-March. I waited around for 8 months post-interview to finally hear back from them. It left such a bad taste in my mouth. If you don't desperately want to attend school here, DON'T apply." More from this Member | Report Response
