astudentis Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Does it act negatively against you if you do not attend the guided tours? Do people with 830 interviews usually end up catching the 915 tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raed Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Simple answer: no it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuronix Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 If you are seriously considering going to a school (even if you aren't really, and it's your only choi...er..hope), why wouldn't you want to get a look of where you might potentially spend 4 years of your life? Doesn't make sense to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterluv Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I would suggest going to the tour/presentation if you don't have time conflict because those tend to give you the feel about the school and the faculty... and you can find out what's so great and different about the school so when the time comes for you to make a decision, you could reflect back and think, 'huh... school A had starbucks whereas school B had timmies....' BUT participation is not required and the school won't even know if you skipped out or went to both the time slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0T6 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 BUT school C (OttawaU) had BOTH Sorry, couldn't resist. and the walk to either one will burn off the calories from ur frappucino or french vanilla! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xi88 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'd advise to go on the tour. I had my interview last weekend, and it changed Ottawa from my second choice to my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my interview last weekend, and it changed Ottawa from my second choice to my first choice. hmm, not to knock the tour but I'm curious as to what about it changed your mind? They just took us around the building. The facilities were like I would expect. They did talk about the curriculum which I already appreciated and knew about. The school was great before the tour, but the tour seemed to do nothing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xi88 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 My 2 top choices are between Ottawa and Dal. I was originally leaning towards Dal because I live in Halifax, but after seeing the facilities at Ottawa, and comparing them to Dal (I work at a lab in the Dal medical building), I found that I would prefer Ottawa much more. It wasnt anything specific in the tour, but IMO its important to see where you are applying to spend the next 4 years at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
