[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Univ of Mary Washington has done a great job with communication and setting up topics, schedules, formats.

The topics were spread out over 2 weeks. Professors from different departments presented. 
Sessions were in the evenings at 4, 5, and 6 p.m.
Then there's a zoom meeting at 7 from current students to discuss topics from the sessions.

While we were really excited about going to the Admitted Student Day, this format enabled us to see way more briefings than we would have gone to. [/quote]

That sounds very nice. Did your kid watch the lectures? My kid who will be attending a different school refuses to watch any of the lectures or professor panels. Finds it boring virtually. [/quote]

Yes my kid watched the lectures. Not all of them but definitely the ones she was interested in, plus the ones that I "made" her listen to.  
She actually appreciated getting info and would get excited about little tidbits of info that she didn't expect. The lectures also had chats so it was pretty interactive.
It's usually 1 or 2 professors doing the presentations. Tonight we watched Geographic Information Science, which my kid had no interest in, but it was good to see what it was about.  The other night, they had the Travel Abroad Program, Residence Life. Next week they have a webinar for "If you don't know what to major in"

The zoom meetings are all current students. [/quote]
