[quote=Anonymous]They help the admissions offices a lot, but it’s the rare school that is going to look at the survey and make sweeping, immediate change. I am a trustee at a school in New England that I attended. We get basic buckets of categories for students that say no from our admissions office. It’s stuff like “lack of diversity”, “access to sports team”, “academics” (which usually means kids feel they are too far ahead or behind for that school’s course progression), “financial aid”, “commute” and wanting same-sex vs co-ed. After a few years of lots of responses in one bucket, we do pay attention and think about long-term strategic change. If something really bad happened during the admissions process, on the level of a racist comment, sexual harassment, or misrepresentation of something factual, then you should send an email to the admissions office and the head of school and division you were applying to. Otherwise, generalize and return the survey.[/quote]
