[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't understand the defensiveness of some of you. Are you a college employee who feels the need to defend institutions? It happens. Don't know what schools you have adcoms walking around college campus meeting admitted students. Admissions staff move on to evaluating the next applying class. The system is open for abuse. Period. [/quote]

Lol this is such a funny and ironic comment.

Show evidence it happens in any statistically meaningful quantity.  You can't.  Because it doesn't.

You've already been told of several schools where the adcoms routinely meet the admitted students.

Your position implies that the system is being gamed simply by checking a box and that the colleges who are being exploited do not care at all.  That's ludicrous. There is zero evidence of that.  Zero.

"Period".

Soooo defensive. 
I'm not going to out specific families. We all know this happens. I don't know the percentage nor do i care. My kids and their friends never met with college admissions staff once they got on campus. Maybe that happens at small colleges, but not at Ivies or state schools. Unlike you, I will take you at your word about this. Peace out.

[i]"I'm not going to out specific families. "[/i] - Specific families whose applications you did not see.

[i]"We all know this happens."[/i] - No you don't.

[i]"I don't know the percentage nor do i care."[/i] - This we agree on 100%

[i]"My kids and their friends never met with college admissions staff once they got on campus"[/i] - Too bad for them.  Mine did and so did many others.  And it isn't only the adcoms who could catch them.

[i]"Maybe that happens at small colleges, but not at Ivies or state schools."[/i] - I already told you my kid is at an ivy and met his admissions officer at accepted students day.  Literally the first person he met after he was admitted.  What state school are you referencing?  Tell me and I will call them and ask them if they meet their admitted students and I will post back here.

[i]"Unlike you, I will take you at your word about this."[/i] - Don't take people's word - take evidence first.

[i]"Peace out. "[/i] - Sure you too.[/quote]

Time to go back on your meds honey. [/quote]
