College Reality Check

College Information Sessions Guide

What is a college information session? What happens during the event? How do you schedule one? Will it help increase your chances of getting an offer to matriculate at your dream school?

Other than campus tours, many colleges and universities also offer what’s referred to as college information sessions where prospective applicants get to learn a lot of things about the postsecondary institutions of their choosing.

A college information session is an activity where prospective college students can learn more and ask questions about their chosen institution.

It is attended by college applicants and often by their parents. A college information session is facilitated by various college representatives.

A college information session is often coupled with a campus tour .

This means that other than providing detailed information about college- and college-related matters, a college information session is usually preceded by or carried out with a tour of the school grounds and its facilities.

Different people can administer a college information session, depending on the institution.

They usually are:

• Admissions officers
• Academic advisors
• Department faculty members
• Current students

A college information session can also come in a couple of forms:

• Online or virtual

What Should You Expect During a College Information Session?

During a college information session, various representatives from the institution provide attendees with detailed information about the school and various college admissions-related matters.

They range anywhere from the application process, financial aid, academic programs, on-campus housing options to campus life.

Most college information sessions last for approximately an hour.

How long you will have to spend attending a college information session will depend on various factors, including whether or not the session is coupled with a campus tour and the number of attendees.

Typically, a college information session starts with college representatives designated to facilitate the event providing all kinds of information that can be valuable for prospective college applicants and students.

A college information session’s venue can also vary, such as in the admissions office, library or auditorium.

Students attending the college information session and their parents, too, can ask questions.

The question-and-answer portion usually happens after the facilitators of the activity have talked about everything they have to discuss, and the attendees are given the opportunity to ask questions that require more specific than general answers.

How Far in Advance Should You Schedule

Information sessions tend to fill up quickly given that they can be extremely helpful in the college search and admissions process.

As such, interested students are strongly advised to register for a college information session weeks or months in advance to ensure that they can be accommodated on their preferred days.

To schedule a college session, you can visit the website of the college of your choosing or get in touch with its admissions office to inquire about which college information session schedules are currently available.

With most colleges limiting the number of registrants, it can be very easy to run out of schedules to choose from.

It’s also worth noting that it’s not uncommon for some institutions to limit the number of guests a student attending can bring.

For instance, the University of Oklahoma says it will not be able to accommodate additional guests if a session is already full — as a matter of fact, some of its sessions for certain programs allow only a single guest.

What to Wear on a College Visit

Because you will be in the presence of college admissions officers and/or other college representatives, it’s a good idea to wear appropriate clothes such as blazers, button-down shirts, slacks, khakis, blouses, dress shirts and dresses.

Also going on a campus tour on the same day?

Opt for comfortable footwear.

Usually, the college administering the information session will give the registrants a checklist to bring with them to the event as well as important details such as where to park, who to invite, where to go and what to expect.

The following are some helpful tips for attending a college information session:

• Research the college, if you haven’t already, and familiarize yourself with its academic programs, campus culture, athletics, admissions requirements, support services, etc.
• Prepare questions whose answers you can’t seem to find on the college’s website or elsewhere on the internet — focus on those that will help you greatly in the college selection process.
• Take notes during the college information session, especially important details about the admissions process, financial aid matters and program you intend to enroll in.
• Network with other attendees and current college students to gain insights and perspectives, all of which can prove to be helpful in selecting and applying to colleges one way or the other.
• Get your hands on each brochure, pamphlet, flyer and business card you can find and use them at a later time when making a decision as to whether or not you should apply to the college.

How to Get the Most From an Info Session

To get the most out of a college information session, college-bound teens are encouraged to prepare questions to ask the facilitators, especially the kinds that are specific to their intended major as well as unique circumstances.

Taking a campus tour on the same day, if possible, is a great way to maximize the event.

Listening attentively is important during a college information session. After all, you’re there to learn more about the college, its admissions process and the program you are considering.

However, it also gives you the opportunity to obtain specific answers to questions tailor-made for you.

• What’s the difference between Early Decision I and II?
• What common mistakes do you see high school teeners make on their applications?
• How many first-year students are a part of the Greek community?
• Is there a co-op program available here?
• Do you have experiential learning opportunities?
• Are outside scholarships accepted?

To take full advantage of the trip to your top-choice college, it’s usually a good idea also to schedule a campus tour and, if available or allowed, an on-campus interview with an admissions officer or college advisor, too.

Can an Info Session Help With Admission to Harvard?

According to Harvard University itself, registration information it asks from those who are interested in attending a college information session will be used for planning only and will not have an impact on the admissions process.

Can a College Information Session Help to get into UPenn

Attending a college information session may help with admission to the University of Pennsylvania in that it allows prospective applicants to learn how best to prepare and apply to the Ivy League school.

Can an Info Session Help With Admission to Princeton?

Since Princeton University doesn’t consider demonstrated interest in the admissions process, attending a college information session will not help increase your chances of getting in if it’s to be used solely to exhibit your interest in attending.

Can a College Information Session Help With Admission to MIT?

Like many selective colleges, MIT doesn’t track demonstrated interest.

However, it invites prospective applicants to attend a college information session, even encouraging some who like to attend with up to 50 people to schedule a group tour.

Can a College Visit Help With Admission to Caltech?

Attending a college information session may help boost your admissions chances to Caltech because, according to the 7th best national university, as per US News, it will help you submit the strongest admissions application possible.

Will Attending Info Session Help With Admission to Johns Hopkins?

Since one of the things you will learn at a college information session at Johns Hopkins is crafting the strongest application that you possibly can, attending it may actually help you get into the highly selective institution.

Will Visiting UCLA Help With Admission Chances?

Any help in admissions chances that a college information session at UCLA can bring has nothing to do with demonstrated interest, which isn’t considered, and more on helping high schoolers improve the components of their applications.

Top Universities Offering In-Person Campus Tours This Summer

Last year, many students were unable to visit the schools they dreamed of attending due to coronavirus precautions. This resulted in students applying to more schools than they usually would, which in turn produced some of the lowest acceptance rates in modern history. 

The good news, Class of 2026, is that many schools are starting to open their doors to prospective students once again. (College tour road trip, anyone?) Of course, that’s not to say that schools still aren’t taking precautions: While all schools will require students and families to register online before attending an in-person tour, some will go as far as to require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. Make sure to check all of the in-person visit criteria on the school’s website before signing up!

Visiting all the schools on your list isn’t always an option, especially if you’re applying to universities across the country (or the world!). Luckily, most schools allow for virtual tours through their websites. Our advice? Take advantage of the virtual option if you need, but visit in-person if the option is available to you. Being able to walk around campus and absorb the vibe is extremely helpful when it comes time to narrow down your school list.

Read on to see which of your top schools are offering in-person tours this summer!

Why Schedule a Campus Visit?

You’re making an important decision. You’ve browsed our website, reviewed brochures and done your research. Still, getting a feel for campus can help you make your final choice. Take in the culture and our Moscow location, experience life in the dorms and dining halls and see where you’ll be learning. Begin to see yourself at U of I with a campus visit.

Confirm your initial impression. If research grabs your attention, a campus visit goes beyond. Determine if you feel at home as a Vandal and if a particular program of study is right for you. Use your visit or campus tour to meet professors and other students, narrow down your list of majors and make a definite decision once you receive your acceptance letter in the spring.

Make the Most of Your Campus Visit

You’ve heard this advice before — don’t just look at buildings. Instead, keep the following in mind whether you’re attending an event, campus tour or a virtual session:

• When to schedule your visit: Check out our Moscow campus as students attend class, engage in research and go about their day-to-day lives as Vandals. Ideally, attend a tour before submitting your application, preferably in the spring of your junior year or early fall of your senior year.
• Be ready to ask questions: Make a list ahead of time to ask your tour guide, admissions counselor and students you see around campus.
• Consider multiple campus visits: Start virtually to get a feel for our campus. Then, to get a more personal perspective, consider attending an on-campus visit. Here, opt for a student-guided campus tour, and schedule in visits with schools or departments for programs you’re curious about.
• Take notes: What makes U of I unique? How does being a Vandal resonate with you? Document your visit with notes and photos to reference later.
• Prepare ahead of time: Avoid attending a campus visit on a whim. Instead, schedule your visit in advance, make plans for a college or program visit, explore our virtual resources, review a map to understand the layout of our campus and make travel arrangements.

WVU students study human performance and nutrition in France, observe Tour de France

Students from West Virginia University recently completed a trip to Nice, France as part of the School of Medicine’s Exercise Physiology Class: French Endurance Performance and Nutrition.

Miriam Leary , Ph.D., associate professor and assistant chairperson of the Exercise Physiology program, oversaw the trip along with Assistant Professor Brian Leary , Ph.D. The purpose of the 10-day trip was to explore French culture, while introducing students to elite endurance performance and exploring the role of the Mediterranean diet in health and performance.

“I cannot overstate how much we enjoyed the trip, all thanks to the incredible students that joined us,” said Miriam Leary. “They showed up with positive attitudes and willingness to try new things and engage.”  

During the trip, students participated in cooking classes related to the Mediterranean diet, visited the National Sport Museum in Nice, hiked along the Côte d’Azur (also known as the French Riviera), toured a winery and organic farm, took a boat tour and observed the Tour de France, including the finishing stage.

Exercise physiology majors Sydney Lemley and Katelin Zapolnik both chose this study abroad course because of the emphasis on nutrition. They also wanted to learn about and experience a different culture.

“I loved learning about the science behind cycling,” said Zapolnik, who has a career goal to go into orthopedic surgery and work with athletes. “This made watching the Tour de France really exciting. I’ve always wanted to go to Europe, and this trip combined some of my top interests – learning about sports and nutrition.”

“My major takeaway from the trip was that the world is so much bigger than the United States,” added Lemley. “This course opened my eyes to how different every culture is. It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.” 

The inspiration for the study abroad course came from a class that Brian Leary and Miriam Leary co-teach at the School of Medicine where students learn about the Mediterranean diet and sports nutrition. They wanted to give students a hands-on learning experience.

“Experience is the most powerful teacher, transforming information into lasting learning,” said Miriam Leary. “By interacting with these outstanding students, we were able to see this come to life far beyond what we can do in labs and classrooms.”

DNC Kicks Off With 'Biden Appreciation Night' in Chicago

In Newsweek's coverage of the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, Harris Prof. William Howell was quoted commenting on President Biden's dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. 

"Biden only stepped down when every pathway forward for him was closed," William Howell, the University of Chicago's Sydney Stein Professor in American Politics, told  Newsweek . "In this extraordinary moment of transition, then, his relationship to the Democratic Party – and with it, his historical legacy — remains complicated."
