[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the Dartmouth one with Lee Coffin. Some think he’s obnoxious but I like his nasally voice. [/quote]

I dislike this guy so much, it made me dislike Dartmouth.  I was relieved my kid didn't like the tour.  All because of this podcast - lol![/quote]

saaaaame!  and I've come to believe he's a textbook example of AO and problems with admissions. they are so rooted in their own life story, they miss the bigger picture.  how many times have I heard AO talk about their college admissions journey?  if a parent did that we'd be laughed out of the room. NOT RELEVANT!  also I think a lot of these people have specific - but inspiring! - stories about being first in their families.  Which is why so many college tours show the same stats: half the kids are full pay, half get aid and the average aid package is 60k.  IOW, not a lot of middle ground.  and they think that middle ground are just people who don't want to pay.  A nurse and a firefighter living in Brooklyn make 250k and while they're more alike Lee Coffins parents than not, they're not getting the aid he got. [/quote]
