<p>Does anyone know if the open house is like the same thing that happens on other days? (Campus tour, info sess, panel, Coke chat) I'd much rather go to a campus tour at 2PM then a open house at 8:30. Anything that the open house has that other days don't?</p>
<p>bumppppppp</p>
<p>"We invite you and your family to spend a full day immersed in the Emory community at our Atlanta campus. During an Emory College Admitted Student Open House, students, faculty, and staff from across the College will help you learn more about our diverse academic programs and exciting opportunities available to Emory undergraduates.</p>
<p>Following a welcome session in the morning, students will have the chance to attend mock lectures by Emory faculty, while parents are invited to a panel led by Emory leadership. Students will attend a student panel and then eat lunch with current Emory students in the Dobbs University Center (DUC). Parents will attend a luncheon with Emory faculty, staff, and student volunteers.</p>
<p>In the afternoon, parents and students will reunite and plan the remainder of the day around their own preferences. Choices will include a variety of academic panels, special interest tours, and opportunities to learn more about residence life. Additional surprises, including a number of Emory traditions, await our Open House visitors."</p>
<p>From the admitted students page. Looks like the basic campus tours + some extras. I know there’s an itinerary somewhere on the admitted students website–saw it the other night but can’t find it again.</p>
<p>Do you guys know if they will have translators? </p>
<p>Sent from my N861 using CC</p>
<p>No idea. If someone goes on one of the Mondays, could you let us know what it’s like?</p>
<p>Does anyone knows what will happen if I did not attend the open house that I signed up for? Will the faculty notices it and contact my parents?</p>
<p>Pchang- I doubt it. Plans sometimes change. No one would hold it against you.</p>
<p>@pchang haha no way. They have better things to do.</p>
<p>
Actually the consequences are far more severe. Students who commit such grave acts as failing to show up for an admitted students day should expect Dean Latting (dean of admissions) to show up to their house with a lighter and burn a copy of their acceptance letter. So unless you want your admissions revoked and personally humiliated by Latting, you must go to the open hose.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, no one cares. The polite thing to do is just send a quick email to whoever’s running Open House, but it’s certainly not necessary.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hahahahahah</p>
<p>D will attend Emory’s Open House on April 15 and wants to do an overnight stay on April 14. She just received an email from Admissions that overnight visits are not accommodated. Can someone PM me if they are (or can introduce us to) an appropriate Emory student with whom D can do an ‘unofficial’ overnight stay? D’s main interests include East Asian Studies, Japanese, Indian dance, and choir if that helps.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>So did anyone go? How was it?</p>
<p>It was very nice. It was my first time on campus, and I think it may have swayed me.</p>
<p>@PRUNE so you’re going to attend? and did they do more than what they do on regular days? do you recommend going?</p>
<p>Yeah, sanguinee, I think more is done to perhaps try to impress y’all, but it’s also spring (and the weather just turned amazing), so a lot of random stuff that has nothing to do with swaying prospective students will also be happening. Given the time of the year and how beautiful the campus is at this time, not much is really needed to give an inflated impression. In fact, I think those events would have happened regardless of it being admissions season (as in, there would be a BBQ in asbury circle on Monday regardless of Open House). Spring or even early-mid fall=fun time at Emory (despite finals being around the corner in the spring).</p>
<p>I think I will be. Have the equivalent of the open house at Oberlin late this month, though. And I am from the South, so I am used to all of the naturally occuring stuff, but I really just enjoyed the kind of vibe it gave off.
I liked the vegan meal I got at DUC, and I loved the Lullwater Preserve/Park. It was amazing.
I like the Arts facility a good bit (it looked… lacking, for lack of a better word, from the outside) and LOVED LOVED LOVED the Carlos Museum. I was amazed to see the quality and level of artifacts they had. I have seen their bust of Tiberius in textbooks all through elementary, middle and high school.
Their main library was pretty impressive, too. It is looks well setup and I their rare books collection was quite interesting to see as well.</p>
<p>So did you all go to the campus tour at the beginning or end of the open house?</p>
<p>From my understanding it will be substantially different. This will be Emory’s chance to really win its admitted class (including myself) over. I plan to attend the on next monday.</p>
<p>@theatre what will be different compared to what?</p>
<p>@sanguinee Compared to the everyday general tour/ student panels. At this point I think we can sign up for either the open house or the tour/student panels. The open house includes a mock lecture, tons of student panels (study abroad, pre-med, research opportunities), tours of all the dorms, breakfast/lunch, a “special gift”, and “Thank Dooley It’s DUC Day” (which I am not really sure about). The regular visit seems to focus more on a general tour and student discussion.</p>
