This is the most dishonest school in North America that I've encountered, possibly the most dishonest organization, period, including banks, law firms, lobbyists and used car lots.

I came here as a marginal high school student, told this was a very selective school with many bright A+ students and a few underachieving nonconformists. I was told I was admitted based on the strength of my writing, despite having a D- GPA in high school, and that I was in the minority in a school of scholars and intellectuals but that I would fit in fine.

In fact, this school is barely a grade school. They admit anyone and everyone, and nearly three quarters of my time during the academic year were spent in meetings, seminars and assemblies devoted to telling us how to recruit students, how to portray the school, how to say things like that it's "Intentionally small" as opposed to the truth, which is that NO ONE WANTS TO COME HERE, and on and on. Classes are ridiculous, most of my classmates are clearly unprepared for any kind of academic work, and the entire mess is depressing and expensive. I feel fooled, stupid, and lied to.
