“We will have folders for the students who are visiting so that they can come in, and we can help them figure out which class they want to go to,” Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye said. “We’ll have a folder for the parents, helping them have a good visit on campus as well and [showing them] things they might want to see on campus and things they might want to see in town.”
The Office of Admission arranged these days to provide the prospective students who want to visit Princeton “right away” with ideal dates to come, Rapelye said. She added that visiting during Reading Period, exam period or Intersession would provide a different view of the campus atmosphere.
“We wanted them to make sure they were coming on a day they could really see what Princeton was like,” Rapelye said. “If they just came in January, that might not be the best view of what Princeton is like, given what our academic schedule is.”
The Tiger Tuesdays program also opens the campus up to students for whom “April seems like a very long time to wait.”
“We wanted to provide a moment for those students if they wanted to come to campus,” Rapelye added.
Tiger Tuesdays will not have any of the special programming or information sessions offered during the two Princeton Preview sessions in April, according to the admission office. Most accepted students will not stay overnight with current students, except for the few who are traveling from far away. However, unlike most days, visiting students will be provided with lunch tickets to eat lunch at one of the residential college dining halls with volunteer students.
“It’s not Princeton Preview,” Rapelye said. “They don’t have to come, but they can certainly come, and they can come in February for one of the days, and then they can come back in April for Princeton Preview and stay overnight for a bigger program.”
The University offered early action admission from 1980 to 1996 before instating Early Decision until 2006. In December 2011, 726 early action applicants were offered admission to the Class of 2016.
