[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can see in the common data set whether demonstrated interest is considered for a given college.  For some SLACs  it is.  [/quote]

Ok thanks!  Nah, no SLACs here.  Old fashioned comp sci or engineering, maybe premed (mother can hope right?).  Technical magnet HS, girl, strong grades.  No legacy, not URM.  Has a shot, nowhere close to a guarantee.  We'll see.

I am not losing sleep over that 70K yet.  I would hate to find out down the road that some school did not admit her because we did not register for a tour, though.[/quote]

You have a lot to learn.[b] Many top SLACs have well respected engineering and computer science, and stellar pre-med programs. Pick one to visit on your vacation. You may be pleasantly surprised.[/b] [/quote]

Mine sure doesn't.  And OP - Ivies dont' even take your name down.  My SLAC takes names down but is so busy processing people it is only to arrange the tour and nothing more. They really don't care. The days of showing interest and getting an interview at a SLAC or Ivy is long gone.  It's all a numbers game now.  The only reason my SLAC gave my DS an interview was because we gave big bucks.  And then he didn't apply.[/quote]
