[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMHO, if you want to have an actual conversation with one of the admissions people, then call them at the office when they have time to talk. At open house day, you have a small crew of admissions people responsible for shuttling 300 (?) parents around in 90 minutes. They simply don't have time for warm small talk then. Sure, maybe there are some who can fake warmth and are skilled that smiling while giving short answers that end the conversation, but those will never be real answers anyway. It's sort of like when some stranger tries to start a conversation while you're juggling the needs of two small children; you just don't have time or bandwidth to engage warmly. Now multiply that juggling x100.[/quote] How about during the parent interview? That's what I -- PP above -- was talking about.[/quote]
