[quote=Anonymous]Has she connected with her regional AO during a previous in-school visit? and this would now be a 2nd/reinforcing interaction? This would be the best bang for your buck situation. If she doesn't know who's assigned to her school, email admissions and find that name and see if she can meet her during the visit. But if it's a planned tour with 20-50 families, they will prioritize current-year applicants and I think it becomes really difficult to connect. My kid's college list kept on changing well thru her Junior year and I think many AOs know this is the case for many/most. She should use this time to talk with other students on campus, and learn about the area, and academic interests, dorms/food, campus culture, etc. If possible, see if she can sit in a class/lecture or speak to an academic advisor for the program she's most interested. She can then tie those things that mattered to her most in her future essays when answering the "Why Us?" questions.[/quote]
