visiting JHU

<p>i've heard about JHU valuing prospective students visiting the campus. i'm planning on visiting in the coming weeks; i was just wondering how the adcom or whomever should know that you visited finds out that you visited? is there some kind of log book to sign?</p>

<p>Something like that...when I visited last summer they had departmental visits on the same day and I signed my name on a guestbook for the Mechanical Engineering open house.</p>

<p>Is this the same as a college visit? When I went to visit, there was no actual guestbook, instead I filled out a paper with my name, etc. and handed it back.</p>

<p>There is a desk inside Garland Hall where you check in, fill out a visit card, receive some brochures, and wait for a campus tour and information session. That serves as notice that you have visited. (Plus you can ask questions of the helpful person who is usually sitting at the desk. :) )</p>

<p>That's what I did! Lol... Does that show interest for JHU, when you come to one of their visits? On top of that, would it be helpful to get an interview as well? Thanks.</p>

<p>Sure, coming to an information session and filling out an interest card does show interest. :)</p>

<p>If you are on a campus visit, you may request an on-campus</a> interview weekdays with an admissions counselor or student representative. An on-campus interview should be scheduled two weeks in advance.</p>

<p>If you do not schedule an on-campus interview or would prefer one in your home area, visit the JHU Admissions website starting Sept. 1 of the year you will be applying for admission and request an alumni</a> interview in your area.</p>

<p>Interviews are optional and are intended as informational for the applicant. But I'd imagine that students motivated enough to schedule an interview are demonstrating interest in the school.</p>

<p>Thank you for the helpful information. Do you recommend any questions that I could ask about the school/alumni or interviewer? Should I be prepared to answer any questions that he/she may have?</p>
