<p>Now that we're all into Columbia, are there any events to look forward to? </p>
<p>I know there is the admitted students weekend sometime in April, but does anyone know if there is anything earlier for early decision admits?</p>
<p>I want there to be ... I can't wait to visit the school again, knowing that I'll be going there in a few months.</p>
<p>Not really. There's no real need to "sell" the school to the ED acceptees.</p>
<p>There's admitted students weekend in April. Some geographic regions also have receptions in April. Over the summer, you'll have some sort of regional meeting where you go and meet the deans for advising and register for classes.</p>
<p>There are also Academic Advising sessions on campus during the summer, where they try to familiarize you with the Core and the graduation requirements (perhaps that's what columbia2002 was referring to?)</p>
<p>But you don't register for classes until after you move in, though.</p>
<p>Yep, that's what I'm talking about, soulofheaven. I think they're not only on campus but also in the major cities throughout the nation. I think you do meet with the advisors and discuss stuff like your math placement and what you'll get AP credits for, etc. You don't actually sign up for classes but I think you plan some stuff out. Is that the case?</p>
<p>what about internationals? (more specificly canadians?)</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the academic advising sessions only take place on campus. There are regional events throughout the summer, but they are "send-offs" and are not related to academic advising. During the summer advising sessions you do get to meet with your advisor, but not individually. They are large group gatherings and ran under more of a "presentation" style rather than one-on-one discussions. During orientation week, though, they have extended walk-in hours to address individual concerns.</p>
<p>No, academic advising sessions take place at several major cities in the U S (I know people who attended in SF and Boston) and I believe there are a few international ones, to.</p>
<p>Yeah, there are Academic Advising Sessions in major U.S. cities...As for international students, I remember there were a couple held in England.</p>
