it was good...and it was interesting to learn about their lemur center! It was a turnoff though when the guy said that legacy played a big role in admissions :(

They really did a great job with the information session. Lots of information that you won't get by going on the website.

The information session took place in the auditorium in the beautiful Admissions House. The Admissions Officer was warm and comforting. They showed a video and the session was very informational.

The info session was informative and the admissions officer tried to stress what made Duke unique, but it sounded very similar to the talks at many other schools.

Started out with a cool video thing. Then a very friendly adcom came and gave a presentation and answered questions.

Again, professors and staff made me feel very welcome. They even had a few student groups, like the Duke Improv, do some entertaining pieces for us.

It was packed when I went in April (over spring break). The admissions officer was friendly and informative, but not very candid. She acted more like a PR person for the school.

By far the best information session I have attended at any school. The admissions officer that led it was very insightful and knowledgeable and, at least for me, generated a feeling of excitement about the school.
