Well organized slide show, which hits most of the high points. [View Full Report]

I sat in a room with about 40 other people and we were instructed on the ins and outs of the school by a grad student. He was really friendly, and painted a great foundation for the campus tour. [View Full Report]

An admissions officer gave us a presentation with a slide show. It was very informative, about all one could expect from a session. Georgetown isn't on the Common App! :( [View Full Report]

It was pretty standard. There was a Georgetown alum who spoke about the admissions process and the local D.C. area. It was informative and she was able to answer questions swiftly and clearly. [View Full Report]

Average, provided a little more information - by no means a lot. [View Full Report]

Sessions were good but very repetitive for admitted students...didn't need to go both days. [View Full Report]

Woman speaking was very informative and you get much more out of the on-campus info session than one in your community [View Full Report]

My brother had a lacrosse tournament, so all I did was glance around the campus. [View Full Report]

Visited in the summer, and there were plenty of people at the session. Very straightforward, talked a little about the Jesuit influence, more about the reputation [View Full Report]

crowded. fairly decent...rambled way too much about academics and not student life or diversity (or lack thereof) or...anything else really. [View Full Report]

Very dry. Consisted of an admissions officer with a power point presentation. If we hadn't already loved Georgetown based on our previous knowledge of it, we might have been disuaded. [View Full Report]

A narrated slide show - low tech, but customized to the audience - about an hour in length prior to the tour. My daughter, who generally doesn't care for these, found it valuable and enjoyable. [View Full Report]

This trip wasn't a formal GAAP weekend visit. Instead, I spent 3 days on campus living with a friend who's a current freshmen. I did however attend an information session when I visited last [View Full Report]

I was scheduled for a "transfer information session." Transfers were barely focused on. It was geared more towards the fresh. applicants which left me a little disappointed. Good general inf [View Full Report]

Mother and daughter went to the information session together. It was really crowded because we went on President's Day. Many people from NY and NJ. There was a Powerpoint presentation. [View Full Report]

The people on campus were very welcoming! Outside admissions hall, freshmen were getting ready for a city-wide scavenger hunt. Friendly boy gave us directions. Nice presentation and atmosphere. [View Full Report]

Great info session, with lots of information not available on the website. It's also nice to meet the real admissions officers. [View Full Report]

Very standard, I think the only thing of value was getting in their records. It was acceptable. [View Full Report]

It was great. Leather chairs, classy ol' Georgetown well rounded presentation about what Georgetown has to offer as well as an insider look into admissions. Most of the info could be found online though. [View Full Report]
