[quote=Anonymous]We definitely had a few lousy tours - and my take away isn't that the schools are bad in some way, but rather wow, what power the tour guides have on first impressions. Kids are kids and if the tour guides are not their people in some way, or, if they don't impress the parents, that's it. We had poor experiences at two great places - Middlebury and William and Mary. In both cases, the tour guides were just being themselves, but presented in a way, and spoke about the school in ways, that turned off my kids. I know enough kids that go to these schools and have great experiences and that DCs rejection of the schools was just a case of a bad first impression but there was no turning back - that was it and we moved on. I would have loved DC to consider Middlebury in particular and was surprised it went so poorly.[/quote]
