[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do large public schools host admissions officer visits? I imagine the individual face time would be limited due to the sheer numbers of students. For this reason I feel fortunate that my daughter attends a small private school with a very good relationship with her first choice college.[/quote]

It's the same.  The admissions officer visits and meets with however many kids show up to the session.  That said, the competition at private schools is tougher with a higher number of kids gunning for Ivy plus schools and a higher number of legacies.  The number of kids who showed up for one Ivy school session at my kids' suburban high school (class of 350 kids) was ~10 students, which is the same as the number of kids who showed up for my friend's kid's school visit (class of ~70).[/quote]

We live in a very strong public school district with heavy Asian population so I would guess there would be well more than that showing up out of the class of 500. So for us, our private provides more opportunity than public. [/quote]
