When are the April Programs - I don't have the forms handy (they are 4000 miles away), but I might be spitting distance away by then?

I'm definitely not. You can't get a feel for the school when there's hundreds of other prospective students around you.

I did an overnight a few weeks ago, and I'm certain it was a more accurate feel than what the April programs could have given. The only thing I would have enjoyed is the dorm tour.

Wow--I'm suprised at how many in this thread aren't going.

I'll be there, though. I haven't visited yet and their programs will hopefully be more in-depth than a normal overnight. I'd appreciate it if somebody who has done both OR a current student of the college could comment on this question: Does Chicago undergo a temporary character change on these April program days to reflect an ideal, "life of the mind" mystique? Or are they a fairly accurate measurement of spending four years there?

I think a couple of Frats might through a party in the middle of the week!

threnody · 03-12-2007, 09:40 PM

Which is... uncommon?

idad · 03-12-2007, 11:17 PM

throw not through, ...well, uncommon perhaps, but not unheard of.
