[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS went to a few and reported back that he learned nothing new, they were very stale generic presentations with a pretty generic q&a. Not a great use of his time so far![/quote] He might be missing the point. Yes, the presentations are canned and you won't learn much (or anything) you couldn't get by reading the website in fact its actually important that your kid does that before going to the school sponsored AO visit. The AO is coming to your HS generally because they have in the past and hope to in the future admit students from your school. I don't know the percentages but I'd guess fewer than 15% of applicants get the chance to meet someone who likely will read/sponsor/vote on their application in the hope that when that time comes the AO will say, yes I remember that kid, he seemed kind, smart and well liked by others, let's admit him.[/quote]
