"Students were emphasizing the price of the school rather than the quality of the education. Also NONE of the faculty or staff came to talk to interviewees before or after interviews. No presentation on the curriculuum or academic offerings of the school. Tour was pathetic and rushed. This school is NOT MY FIRST CHOICE ANYMORE. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Well let's see, he basically attacked every single little thing i've done for the past 4 years and my life in general. Some of the questions came from the basic list but i felt that he was purposely attacking my character and my work to see how i would react. I felt belittled by my interviewer and i came out thinking "if he doubts the way i've lead my life and done my academics,then why did this school bother to invite me for an interview in the first place?" I felt like he was ambivalent and inconsiderate during my interview. IT sucked. " Report Response
