[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way my kids would want to miss all their fast-moving AP classes for info they can get online. These visits are entirely useless. Usually it's a little table with flyers, maybe a small presentation that's indistinguishable from all the others, and Q&A. Sometimes they do take names, but you can also go to the website and sign up for a virtual tour.

It's best to hop on occasional webinars organized by the PTA to figure out what college admissions officers are like, and how admissions work - they work the same at every school, with a few peculiarities at some, that you can find on their website. Then you can organize a tour of likely urban, rural, small and large schools at some point.

It’s the person that will be reading their apps. The regional admissions officer.  It also shows interest- you sign in. My kid has a ton of APs and made the time to visit with the ones he was interested in.[/quote]
Our school limited to seniors as well but has juniors (who have to be selected by faculty and admin) take the AO's on school tour as a way to start the intro process and matching students to schools.  Agree it is a great opportunity and worth making up work-the teachers know and allow students to go if they aren't behind on work in class.  [/quote]
