We are trying to decide between having our daughter do Terp for Day or the Admitted Student Open house. Does anyone know which is better for a student trying to decide?
My son didn’t do Terp for a Day, so I can’t speak to that, but admitted students day is a well oiled machine that gives a lot of great info.
While I would be hard pressed to imagine a similar scenario at Maryland, I will share experience at another school… My daughter did a program at a different school that had her shadow a student and if she had not made up her mind already to commit, based on the program itself, it would have given her pause to reconsider because the specific student she was with was really bad.
I understand they are students and volunteers on top of that, but if you find out you have two exams on the day you volunteered for, you would think the student would have common sense enough to cancel…? Not so, and she made my daughter wait in the hall while she took her first exam and was so stressed she was so far less than pleasant, that my daughter actually walked away from the guide…
I agree, I attended admitted open house. I was certainly impressed with information
