[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think student guides should report these parents to the admissions office.  I went on probably ten tours last Fall and no one asked these ridiculous and rude questions so hopefully these posters are way outliers.   In light of how many competent kids applied to the schools we were interested in, there is zero reason to give further consideration to any families that behave in this way. I would instantly move them to the reject pile. [/quote]

Bahahahahaha.  Yeah, schools will definitely not consider the applications of families who have the audacity to ask a tour guide where they are interested in attending college.

Are you serious? [/quote]

Yep.  The student who have shadowers typically report on the kids who follow them.  Why not have the tour guides have a box for a*holes?   It would be super easy and a very simple way for my Big3 schools to get rid of these undesirables.

Don’t get me wrong.  Big3 parents think these thoughts ALL THE TIME and post them on anonymous message boards.  But there is a huge difference between thinking it and saying it.  You can think these questions all you want in your head but if you don’t have the wherewithal to shut your trap and not ask a high school child I definitely don’t want you anywhere near my kid.  Signed, parent on the inside. [/quote]

If someone asks a high school junior/senior where they are applying to college you don't want them anywhere near your kid?

This is an unhinged take even by DCUM standards.[/quote]
