Hopkins Interactive gets information to you in lots of different ways. Which do you think is the most effective? Which do you think is the least effective, and why? What can we change to make it better?
I love love the message boards, but we don't get many hits I wish there was some way we could change that. Unfortunately I have no suggestions at the moment. For prospects, the message boards are most effective to me....in getting students interested in applying. For me, blogs help to make the final decision, and FaceBook was great for enrolled students. Videos are good for each stage in the process, methinks.
The CRIBS and other videos were very helpful to me when I was first coming here...when we get more episodes of Hopkins Now! up, I think that they will be a great resource.
I definitely read a couple of blogs before I came here (Phil's blog is still my favourite) but for me it was a really close tie between the blogs and the videos. I think what convinced me was "A Day in the Life"...for the life of me I can`t find it anymore, it's been lost to the black hole that is the admissions website, it wasn't a SAAB thing, but i was a student who didn't have the opportunity to physically visit the school so seeing students and what they did around campus was super useful.

I'd have to say that the videos and blogs are tied for me. They were both equally helpful when I was reading up on Hopkins upon being accepted, plus it was great to see Hopkins from the point-of-view of a student. And, of course, they're fun!
