Although very enthusiastic, the speaker was a little too rehearsed. |

Fairly informative. Nothing really that I didn't know from the CC forums, but the demographic and sheer number of attendees said a lot about the school. Importance of holistic admission emphasize |

The session was informative but much of the information could be easily found elsewhere. The student input was far more useful as it gave me a more intimate view of CC that the school pamphlets lack. |

Covered all the bases, with a good explanation of Columbia's core curriculum, of financial aid, ED. Nothing surprising, sometimes hard to hear (large room). |

It wasn't anything I hadn't hear before but may have been useful for those who haven't already done research on the University. |

Been to two; first was EXCELLENT, sold me on the school, and the admissions counselor was just lovely. Second was pretty forgettable. |

The information session was really helpful. The adcom helped tell us what they look for in apps, and also said that she would be worried if you took the SAT more than 3 times. |

Great info session--the BEST. Adcom was amazing--she knew every single one of the HS's that kids mentioned. She really showcased the Columbia/NYC slightly tough attitude--highly appealing to me. |

I really didn't learn anything new about the school, just got to get a better sense of the type of people at the school. |

Very useful information and an extremely good admissions speaker. Not too many people there, but allowed for a more interactive experience |

There were probably near 100 people present and the admissions officer was very nice and funny. Not really informative though...basically told me the same stuff I already knew and dodged a lot of questions with generic answers. |

It was pretty helpful, but most of the information could have been found on the website (however, I've basically read the whole website so I guess I'm not the best person to evaluate this haha). |

Pretty basic. It was held in a large hall without microphones, so hearing in the back was trouble for some. If you can, snag a seat toward the front. |

I've been to two (in April and then in July), once for myself and once with my brother, who is also thinking of transferring. They were both very informative- all my questions about the Core and financial aid were answered. |

The information session was informative, but because they only have one per month, 500 + people were packed into a small audotorium. Still, it wasn't that bad. During the school year, it's |
