Admissions day?

I've been invited to an admissions day - has anyone been to one? what are they like? It says they invite potential students for an admissions day but its not part of the selection process? how can they say that if they havent made a decision yet i mean they can't just forget what you were like so it must be taken into account? Think theres much chance of an offer if i've been invited?? :confused:

what they mean (hopefully) is that you're in with a good chance of an offer and two things

1)that they want to impress YOU so that when it comes to firm/insurance choice time you choose them

2) that they want to make sure you understand the structure & content of the course so that you don't tuen up in October to find it's not what you thought it was

Am I making sense? Anyway if it's a serious possibility you'll go there then attend the day

Try not to worry about it too much. Even if they haven't given you an offer yet, they only invite people they're serious about to admissions days, so if you go, the chances are you'll get an offer. It's just a chance for you to have a look around the uni and department, meet staff and students and find out more about the course, accommodation and so on.
