Why do they maintain an Admissions set-up/team that is such a turn-off?  Shouldn't Admissions reflect well on the school?[/quote]
I had no issues with the Admissions staff or how they conducted themselves.[/quote]
Like the poster to whom I was responding, I found them humorless and guarded.[/quote]
I had no problem with the admissions people.  Try to look at the difficult situation they're in.  They know from experience that many of the parents there are just itching to spot any perceived misstep they can broadcast on DCUM in a negative light, which is a danger not only for the school, but also for the individual admissions people because posts like that often identify the particular admissions person which can lead to job consequences.  Parents often ask insulting and tone-deaf question, or make offensive comments, which are difficult to handle.  Meanwhile the crowd is massive, so it's impossible to spend warm time with any individual family.  Probably lots of other reasons as well.  Seems like a really tough and unrewarding job.[/quote]
