Summary of Experience:
Accepted late January...unbelievably surprised and excited. One of the best administrations and student bodies I've seen. Going to be a very hard decision.
Summary of Experience:
Accepted with 1/3 scholarship. Very grateful, but will be withdrawing. School was just too new, small, rural, and research focused.
