They flew 15 finalists to do a huge interview process with professors that lasted three days. We were told 10-12 would be admitted because they had a lot of new funding, but only 3 made the final cut. They admitted they had no room in the building for many new students office wise. Most all the professors and staff were hospitable except for two that were very off putting. |
