US universities fair

So !@#$% tired...
Most of you may not know what it feels like to be bombarded by 100 JC students who are only concerned about
1. Does your school offer need blind financial aid?
2. What are the specialities of the school?
3. What is the admission rate?
4. What are my chances? What SAT score is good?
5.What's special about your school?
6.How do you find your school's econ program? (actually it sux for now)
7.How competitive is envir at school? (as competitive as you want duuhhhhh)

Ehhhh Singaporeans can you be more interested in the school itself rather than the other factors? Anyway it will be reflected in your admission essay.
I saw a total of TWO genuinely interested JC students out of the maybe 100 people at the booth. Can see from the questions they ask.
Then also, I remember myself 2 years ago in their shoes and asking a thousand questions.
Maybe I'll go do a FAQ on US unis admission stuff.
Please, please, Duke is NOOOOTTT Ivy League. But it is equivalent and better than some Ivy League Institutions.
