Great school but Admissions should accomodate students REGISTERED for tours first

<p>WHat a terrific school</p>

<p>and
the Admissions did a horrible job handling the crowds on Friday.</p>

<p>Why register–when literally hundreds of unregistered kids and parents show up! The supplies of info packets and coursebooks ran out twice!
and
later the engineering tour was a joke. You can’t tour engineering labs etc with 400 people!</p>

<p>This isn’t about “being flexible” etc…
its about consideration…kids who planned, registered and show up–who don’t have the tour as it was designed to be given --because Admissions is willing to “accomodate” hundreds of kids-parents who just show up!</p>

<p>Pulllease…if a kid can’t register for a prospective student tour–so AdCom can have materials etc—then are they Columbia material?!</p>

<p>We registered in plenty of time…and never even got the materials they were handing out…</p>

<p>Is there a point to this thread? Are you just posting to b—h or are you looking for materials? If the former, get over it. If the latter, call/email the adcoms and ask for them to be sent to you (or just look on the website for whatever info you need).</p>

<p>I’d just like to point out that with that attitude, you will have a tough time getting admitted.</p>
