<p>The information session close to my home takes place at the same time as a night class I have at a CC.</p>
<p>So, I was wondering what's covered at these sessions and if I should drive 30 miles the day before (a wednesday night) to attend one semi-nearby? If i've visited the campus and listened to the session there (the one before the tour), is there anything else that's addressed at one of these sessions? Thanks.</p>
<p>I went to this information session thing last year. They asked a few questions, talkd about requirements for admissions(3 SAT II's, etc). I won a frisbee I think. There were some MIT Alumni there. Not sure if that helps.</p>
<p>PS: Does MIT have any way of deciding who to invite? Because some of my friends didn't get it, and some did.</p>
<p>There are very general in nature and information. If you been to an info session at MIT or any other school- the same questions are also asked. </p>
<p>Of the 4 my kid and I (parent) attended in 2001, MIT's was the worst. </p>
<p>Everything they covered and answered was also on their website.</p>
<p>I thought the MIT info session was the coolest I have ever attended, and so did my son. It really introduced the hacker culture of MIT. I agree that there was little NEW information there for someone very familiar with MIT's Web site.</p>
<p>I went in the summer. It was really good (a nice tour of the campus as well).</p>
<p>Hey Spartan - the regional info sessions are a bit longer and include photos and video to compensate for the fact that a campus tour doesn't follow (as it does with the on-campus info sessions). If you've visited campus and attended the info session and tour here, I'd say don't miss your class (or make the trip the day before).</p>
<p>Sagar - if you're part of our mailing list, you get invited I believe. Registering for MyMIT puts you on our mailing list automatically. Tell your friends!</p>
<p>I just found out that MIT is coming to my school(NCSSM), in a week or so. So I'm not going to bother going to another school. Seeing as practically half the school is going to attend(everyone "wants" to get into MIT here, it was even in a school play), it should be interesting(ie students cornering the MIT representatives for chances).</p>
<p>The only bad thing is that I have gone on an MIT campus tour, except I was in 5th grade, and all I cared about back then was lunch. I do remember being very impressed by my dad's rambling on how MIT is the pinnacle of engineering, etc. Now I wish I could take the tour again, actually look into the stuff I'm concerned about. :)</p>
