[quote=Anonymous]I think this really depends on the your kid’s school and the university in question. At my kid’s school, these visits are usually presentations to a group of students with Q&A but no obvious opportunities for personal connection. Kids do not dress up or do anything other than attend and listen and ask questions. It sounds like the sessions can be pretty awkward, and for highly selective schools that don’t consider demonstrated interest they are close to pointless if you’ve already toured/done research. For a school that considers demonstrated interest, it’s different. Same if it’s a school that doesn’t have a lot of interest at your kid’s school; in that case it could be a good opportunity to make a connection if your kid is the only one or one of a very few present. It’s also unusual for juniors to attend at our kids’ school, even though they are technically invited. So your kid should see what the norm is.[/quote]
