[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some grade A ass holes in this thread. Let's review - OP said, it makes students uncomfortable, so don't ask about college applicstions. Jackasses respond, 'these kids need to toughen up and learn how to change the topic.'

Guess what, in the polite world, we don't try to make people uncomfortable. It's rude. End of story. [/quote]

Seriously. The entitlement is off the charts. [/quote]

It’s weird, like their decision to have their kid apply to a high school hinges on what colleges the tour guide is considering. Bizarre. [/quote]

Seriously, the question isn't targeted at the individual.  It's a benchmark for measuring how they field generic questions, which reflects education.  I don't care where any kid applies, except mine.[/quote]
This response makes no sense. A benchmark for how they field generic questions? And that reflecting education? Come on, with that kind of BS you've got to be a lawyer too  :lol:

Families makes odd decisions based on tour guides and spending 1 hour on campuses. People on the DCUM college board are talking about not applying to a school based on a 90-minute visit because of a guide they find strange and one thing they saw. [/quote]

Well, we chose not to apply to a school that sent a socially awkward kid who could speak with us as a tour guide.  The school advertised that it produced articulate, prepared students, clearly this was not the case.  If this is what they have to show us, no thanks.[/quote]

Maybe they do it intentionally to weed out some problematic applicants at the beginning! Schools don't "produce" students either! [/quote]

Maybe... i just thought 'this is the best they could do?'[/quote]
