HobeyBaker77 June 30 2009	Low-tech, 1 admission staffer and 1 current student spoke for a little over 1 hour. Informative and a little quirky. "Macro" (their word) view of the Brown education, the liberal arts and th [View Full Report]
tetrisfan May 05 2009	Presented by a member of the admissions committee. Since we were a small group, the whole session comprised pretty much only questions. Very helpful, got a sense of what Brown wants [View Full Report]

machiavelli August 12 2006	I went to specific ones about study abroad and the COE program. They had panels and didn't really cover much that couldn't be found easily on their website. [View Full Report]
ivyracer August 11 2006	The information session was held at an auditorium with a sophomore from Brown and a senior admission counselor. The session was helpful, but only in the sense that it gave me some digits and data regarding the usual acceptance rate, number of majors, etc. [View Full Report]
