[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admissions doesn't care or know what happens after you get to campus. And regional admissions rep is a dead-end job people do for a year or two at most, so even if they had an idea in their head, the new rep won't. Only thing they may take into account is yield from your kid's high school, but even then, a stretch. People really overthink admissions. It's very bottom line driven, they aren't having windy esoteric debates about each freaking teen. Most of them aren't even reading the essays our kids write.[/quote]

Nearly everything you type in your post is exactly wrong.

- They do care what happens to you after you get to campus (it looks bad for them if they admit an inappropriate student)
- There are many dedicated career admissions professionals as all departments are headed by them.  I have never met one - even a career-starter - who did not take their job very seriously.  Just look at the college websites, you can’t see them and who they are.
- Yes they are about yield but much more, such as the quality and preparedness from your HS.
- Yes they are exactly having debates about bubble applicants and are pained when kids they like get voted down.  You know they have “committees”, right?  You can even see them on YouTube.,
- Yes they are reading your essays.  Every single one.

You are so wrong I am tempted to think this was a sarcastic troll post.  But if it isn’t, then you, PP, should never post about — or possibly even speak about - college admissions ever again, as you have no freaking idea.[/quote]
