Are there any other things I should know about the PENN MCIT besides the expensive cost?

Not that I know of. It's just the ROI is very questionable, just as with CMU's professional degree programs. For that kindof money, I would have expected to see more Microsoft positions:
mcit-graduates
(Lots of people from non-ranking schools get hired by Microsoft, and the link above only mentions one Microsoft position.)
The following job title of an MCIT graduate is almost embarrassing after paying that kindof money since even a BS degree from UT Dallas could have been enough:
Associate Software Engineer, DSG (Document Solutions Group) Malvern, PA
So that makes you wonder how much previous experience the people had who got more senior jobs at companies like PayPal.
