I have a son in 10th grade. There are many colleges hosting "information sessions" in our area. Has anyone found such sessions useful? What did you learn that was not on the web site of the college? Some colleges visit our high school, so my son can attend those sessions, but I wonder if we should make an effort to attend sessions not at school.

Attending an information session is a way of showing interest, but I wonder if that matters much for the most selective schools, since they know that applicants are interested.
