No problem! Yes a suit and tie would be very appropriate, that is what I wore. Actually now that I think about it I packed the wrong color tie and ended up just wearing my suit! What I really like about the program is the faculty and their openness to change. We have some very passionate faculty members who sincerely care about both the students and PT as a profession. For me one negative is that since this program is relatively new, it seems everyone is still finding their place within the curriculum and sometimes it seems some professors are unaware of what other professors are doing. So what ends up happening is you may be introduced to a new topic with the assumption information "X" has already been covered in detail when in fact it has not. As a student that can be frustrating. To be fair though, this is graduate school and the onus is on the student to be prepared. Also I think in time issues like these will resolve themselves and it is a concern I have already brought to their attention.
EDIT: Forgot about the tuition part. Yes I am paying OOT. It is about 25.5k a year, which is relatively inexpensive compared to other out of state schools. If you are applying as an OOS student, you will remain that way for the remainder of the program. You cannot live there for one year, claim residency, and then get in-state tuition. Their med school is the same way. Add that to my negative list.
