Visitors visiting

Today we’re hosting the first of the fall’s Visit Days.  Prospective students will start arriving at about noon, and we’ll all have lunch together.  Then we’ll move on to an Information Session, and a student panel.  The first of the visitors have already arrived for morning interviews, and others are checking in at the office just to be sure they’re in the right place.

Visit Days are energizing for the staff, and useful for applicants.  Not only does the schedule allow a convenient way to stuff a lot of activities in a short period of time, but it’s always helpful for applicants to hear what others are thinking.  (The person obsessing over the personal statement will benefit from the questions asked by the person obsessing over the résumé, and vice versa.)  It’s helpful for the blog, too!  If I hear any good questions that I hadn’t already planned to answer, I’ll make note and cover them in the coming days.

If you aren’t joining us today but the Visit Day concept is appealing, consider joining us on November 17 for a general Visit Day, or on October 20 (PhD applicants) or October 27 (MIB applicants).
