Excellent; I've been to about 8-10 colleges so far, and this one was top-notch. Conducted by a member of improv-comedy troupes; funny, but very informative. Easily discussed all topics/questions. [View Full Report]

More laid back and conversational. The dean of admissions did the session, and he had some GREAT advice on applying, but I did not come away with a good idea of the actual education Yale has to offer. [View Full Report]

The only college I visited that had a student conducting the information sessions and no admin officer. But was the best session I had! The kid was really bright and told everything I wanted to know. [View Full Report]

The info session was okay. After attending four info sessions, they start to sound the same. Plus, I knew everything he was saying already because I have virtually memorized the Yale website. [View Full Report]

Once accepted and Yale was wooing the few number of students in the area to matriculate. [View Full Report]

Conducted by a student. Very informative, but perhaps she was a little naive as to how hard it is to actually get accepted. see below for more... [View Full Report]

Although the guy said "essentially" practically every other word, it was, essentially, very informational. Not at all like my Columbia experience, where the guy was like "if you don't have this, this, and this, don't even bother t [View Full Report]

Yale always impresses me with the professionalism of their Info Sessions. They heavily emphasize their semi-unique Residential College system and how it contributes to school spirit. They know that everyone respects Yale's academics, so instead the [View Full Report]

Info session was held in a lecture hall. The admissions officer was brusque and efficient, but answered questions in depth. There were copies of the current course selection book ("The Blue Book") for $3 and the last year's for free. [View Full Report]

Not terrible. They don't really tell you much you don't already know. Talked about college system and special programs (science one and directed studies). [View Full Report]

Very informative and interesting. Note that my visit took place during Bulldog Days, so the info. sessions may have been more dilligently prepared than what is usual. [View Full Report]
