<p>did all you acceptees visit campus?</p>
<p>i visited a week before decisisons came out so it prob wasn't a factor. tho i went to local information sessions</p>
<p>I.. didn't really do anything =b not even the emory video..</p>
<p>the emory video was silly--they interviewed quite repellant kids, haha, but it did show how beautiful the campus/facilities is/are</p>
<p>college videos are always quite cheesy/corny...it's in their nature.</p>
