[quote=Anonymous]In a competetive admissions environment, there are few applicant families that don't try to look for opportunities to improve their odds. The OP is aware that in this recession, many families that were paying full tuition are no longer doing so. It so happens that admissions offices do like to know what they can expect. (And if life throws the family a curve down the road, they help out). Schools are also trying hard to engage grandparents in school life, so I see nothing wrong with asking during the parent interview if there are opportunities for grandparents (of admitted students) to visit or volunteer. An admissions officer on top of her game is going to pursue that line of discussion by asking questions about grandpa. "Oh, do they live close?" That's when you can say, "we're so grateful that our child's grandparents are providing her education. We hope that they'll feel a part of the community so that they can get to know the program firsthand."[/quote]
