@TooOld4School For Cal, I will be going to Cal Day and the day prior to Cal Day (a Friday, so classes are actually in session and I will be able to meet faculty members). I am not going attend Vanderbilt’s admitted students day, but I recently visited and already have a good enough impression of the school.

@hawkbird Good to hear! When I asked one of the ChemE professors “What is one thing you would change / do not like about Vanderbilt,” he replied that he felt that the area around Vanderbilt does not provide as many job / internship opportunities as he would like. That your daughter and her friends did not run into this problem is encouraging. As of now my impression is that, if you’re proactive and take advantage of opportunities when they arise, you’ll be fine.
