So I interviewed on the 20th and I have so many mixed feelings about this school. There were some elements I really liked but there was a lot about that whole day that just didn't sit well with me.
Firstly the very first presentation from the dean felt like an adapted investor pitch where the main focus was on the bottom line for the school and "future" projects that the school was undertaking (with no actual firm end dates mentioned).... there were just parts of that prez that were not relavent to incoming students. At least that was my impression, did anyone feel the same? Differently?
My interview, like most of you, was incredibly strange. The students and even the faculty were dead silent and not engaging at all. There was one point I think the faculty member just tapped out and bluntly told the students to continue on. The students, major props to them, carried on as best they could and I think by the end of the interview loosened up a bit and engaged a little bit better.
At the end of the interview I asked the students if there were any gaps in their education and they straight up said yes. The curriculum did in fact miss some major things. They followed up by saying that the faculty is very supportive and would gladly teach you whatever you want to know (which is also the impression I got during the day), but the actual curriculum is incomplete.
I don't know about the rest of you but for 95k a year in tuition alone, it just didn't feel good enough. I don't think this school will fit for me.
That said please everyone comment your thoughts and experiences, especially if they are different from my own. This conversation we have going is really interesting!
I wish everyone the best of luck in this cycle
