I attended admitted students day at both NYU and Columbia last year. They sold me the prestige of the school, the expertise of the professors, and the dynamic current students. Do any of you remember the amount of materials that Columbia sent to you after you were admitted? What else would you expect the school to do?
I do agree that the interaction between present and prospective students at the events follows a script. But we can easily change this: just make a conscious effort to be very thoughtful and as honest as possible in your discussions with admitted students next year.
