Very helpful and informative, especially since the Dean of Admissions was describing the school. Elaborated on the research aspect of UVA, a factor that distinguishes the school from others. [View Full Report]

Preformed by two students instead of admissions officers. Touched on undergrad schools, admissions, campus life and even a q+a session where we could ask whatever we want. Very well done! [View Full Report]

Nice balance between information and amusing anecdotes. Never imagined that Big Macs could be used to help explain college essays. [View Full Report]

Newcomb theater was almost completely filled when started. The speaker talked about admissions, essays, each specializing schools. He mixed jokes well and pretty funny in general. Informative! [View Full Report]

I went to the info session during my junior year; it was very informative. Included all the normal things @ info sessions. [View Full Report]

I went for DOTL, so it wasn't an "information session" per se, but a panel of profs speaking. It was very good. [View Full Report]

Student-led session was one of the most informative. Students were more knowledgable about the nuts and bolts of a UVa education than most admissions officers would be. [View Full Report]

Very busy day, but the staff were extremely helpful to accommodate everyone in an informative session. Any questions on the admission process were covered thoroughly. [View Full Report]

The information session told us a lot of things not seen in brochures as well as the admissions process. [View Full Report]

The worst of any we've sat through. Conducted in the campus theater (which is cool) in semi darkness, by an admissions dean with a monotone voice and zero enthusiasm. [View Full Report]

I went to two information sessions, one with students and another of professors and both really helped gain insight on life at the university, since they wer based around questions from the audience. [View Full Report]

I suppose for people who didn't do a lot of research on the U before coming, this session would be helpful. But all of the info can be found online, unless you have specific questions, of course. [View Full Report]
