After 6 info sessions, they all start to sound the same. But the info session guy tried very hard to make Princeton stand out among the schools - sometimes a bit too much.

The admissions officer was charismatic. He gave a talk on the policies of the adoffice (like other colleges' beginning talks) and then had a VERY informative Q and A session.

The admissions counselor was well-dressed and polished, almost too polished. He did however answer all questions with mostly complete answers.

Very crowded. Adcom was very intimidating. Kept reinforcing how competitive it is to get in. That they get 20,000 applications and the applicant has to have a hook.

Parents only attended (student was attending a class with a current Princeton student who was from the same high school). Very small info session (<10>), informal and informative.

Best balance of professional/charismatic elements of all the schools we visited. Given by admissions officer who was also a graduate. Very realistic as to the competetivenes, but reassuring also.

Brought us into room where Congress and the Continental Congress once met. Pretty intimidating. Good session, told us what they are looking for in a Princeton student and what they offer to us.

Our session was somewhat large, but I liked it. The presenter was extremely candid and very excited about Princeton. The info wan't new, but it just confirmed that I was aware of how the process worked.

Boring, overcrowded and hard to hear the admissions officer.

More conventional than uniquely informative or honest.
