I am laughing my butt off that it's a counseling program.

But that is seriously no way to run a school or program. You don't seem to have exceptionally thin skin, and you seem rightfully offended by it, so I definately think it's worth bringing up to someone regardless if you attend that program or not. As someone who used to work a lot in admissions, this is NO way to try to get students to come.

I'd be very worried if she were going to be my advisor.... ouch.
Even if it's a good, highly-rated program (which of course I have no clue), you may be better off somewhere else that's a little more encouraging and supportive.

If they're acting like this now trying to get you to come there, what are they going to act like when they have your money and you're already there?????
