"I had a great interview experience here and I really love the school! They only accept a maximum of 28 students at any one time, so we were told that it might take us a long while to hear back post-interview about final decisions. I would love to attend here! The students were very friendly and willing to answer any and all questions about academics and student life. They made it clear that they are a family unit and highly value that. It wasn't to the point of exclusivity though, but they do care about each other and each other's success." Report Response
