2015 Indiana Recruitment

Interested to see if 40 minute skit round means fewer PMN complaints along the lines of, "They didn't have the time to get to know me--no wonder I only received five second round invites!"

I wouldn't think so, you're still going to allocate probably 3-5 minutes of that round to getting PNMs in and seated (40-5 = 35), 8-12 minutes for the skit (35-10 = 25), and then 3-5 minutes getting them back out...so you're still at roughly 20 minutes of actual conversational time. That even excludes picking up your PNM and getting them to their respective rush location, which is probably another few minutes!

Last year, IU recruitment was changed at the last minute due to a lovely blizzard. We went from having four rounds to three. With that change they had the skits the same day as the open house round. It went so well that they decided to do it again this year. If you have a good skit it works, but after seeing the same skit 22 times, it is hard to keep the energy up.
