Hi Daniela - I get what you're saying. The reason why I am considering this school is because their faculty have an really good reputation. Also, there are two people from my leveling study group that have been accepted. I don't see a lot of people mention classmates as a factor when they are choosing a grad school, but I think this is something that should be considered.
I agree that the person in charge of the admissions applications at this particular college may not be the best part of their program.
