| These information sessions obviously serve as a great source of information - if you can't go to one on campus, and if you don't spend the time checking out the school web sites. The MIT web site is incredibly well-organized in particular. IMO, after touring fifteen or so schools over the past few years with my two older sons, the regional info sessions are less helpful and rarely more informative. "Face time" with the regional reps is also suggested as part of admissions "lore" but I agree with tokenadult that it can be impolite and embarassing to fight to the front of a crowd just for a few seconds of usually unproductive contact. |
