October 10 2008	jumpngo	I went to the info session during my junior year; it was very informative. Included all the normal things @ info sessions.
June 13 2008	Zythiel	I went for DOTL, so it wasn't an "information session" per se, but a panel of profs speaking. It was very good.
May 25 2008	2-iron	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.
May 05 2008	canuck01	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.
April 16 2008	sportguy268	The information session told us a lot of things not seen in brochures as well as the admissions process.
August 31 2007	minoafrau	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.
August 03 2007	shoebox10	I was there for transfer orientation, which was done very well
June 14 2007	balletbabe7588	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.
May 24 2007	Wahoo58	The dean was very informative, went beyond the normal admissions talk with some really helpful information, also very funny. Talked to him after the tour, very nice and helpful.
May 22 2007	chr100	Amazing admissions officer. Very funny and interesting. Recommended several professors and gave a lot of tips into the admissions process.
February 22 2007	BobbyC	very helpful and impressive, lots of detail on the essay
August 08 2006	js3418	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.
