I was wondering what your impression of the school are. How is the faculty? What is the drop out/remediation rate?

thanks

even though im not a western student, i asked the interviewers what the negative aspects of western are during my interview, and basically what the professor told me was he wished some of the faculty members would have more experience in the field....implying some of them are relatively new in teaching...

The curriculum is okay but it seems that our class (c/o 2011) is the guinea pigs for A LOT of changes to the curriculum...as far as the staff goes, most professors are pretty competent but a lot of them are new professors that read straight off of powerpoints but they are helpful in responding to emails and being at office hours...hope that helps

Most everyone passes however a C passes a class, but you cannot maintain a C average in order to continue the curriculum. You must maintain a 2.75 GPA

SO are there a lot of students who are not able to maintain 2.75 that you're aware of?

thanks.

None so far in my class....usually if it happens it is because something else is going on in their personal life.
