<p>I'm a sophomore from Georgia and over spring break I'll be visiting both Princeton and Yale; any suggestions on what I should see/do when I'm there?</p>
<p>And also, is it a bit early to start keeping tabs with the admissions offices?</p>
<p>Don't keep tabs with the admissions office. It's actually considered annoying, and if you look at yale faqs it specifically says that students who are in constant contact with ad. office are a nuisance. </p>
<p>lol. seriously though.</p>
<p>enjoy your visits. both schools are absolutely amazing!</p>
<p>Couldn't disagree with you more matty. I mean obviously it isn't good to pester them if you have absolutely NOTHING to say, but I think it is crucial to have the admission officers know who you are. You can accomplish this by approaching them after the info session, introducing yourself, and asking them an intelligent question about a program...or asking them about a situation that is unique to you...just so that they know who you are.</p>
<p>I do agree with the part about 'both schools are absolutely amazing'
but i have to say Princeton kicks every school's butt! ; )</p>
<p>look at how much better Princeton (the town) is than New Haven</p>
<p>gettingin, </p>
<p>I totally get what you mean about asking inciteful (spelling? lol) questions if you have them. Don't push it though, just because you think that will get you brownie points, because it will come off that way. That's what i was trying to say.</p>
<p>*insightful (one of my favorite words :P)</p>
<p>If you're really enthusiastic about a certain major, I don't think it would hurt to ask people in that department some questions. If you ask intriguing and insightful questions, they might remember you. (Basically. I agree with GettingIn1)</p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p>
<p>lol my bad =)</p>
<p>I think it may be a good idea to meet some professors. My D always made a point of meeting some professors during her campus visit. Some of them have written to adcom on her behalf. Not sure if it's helpful, but they have definitely given her some insight on areas of her interest.</p>
<p>oldfort makes a very good recommendation. Professors are a big part of what is going to make a school great or not. I remember during a Princeton visit, that one employee recommended that we speak to a professor. My son was really impressed by the Princeton professors he met. I think speaking to the professors is a great idea for any college. Good luck in your search.</p>
<p>thanks so much everyone!</p>
