[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][QUOTE]Higher Ed admin here: if I were your supervisor and caught you doing this, I might actually fire you. [/QUOTE]As a colleague, I think you are being way too harsh. If you really are in our field, then where OP works is obvious and you also know that his office can be archaic and isolated. I wouldn't fault a staff member there for reaching out to try to have meaningful conversations with parents. [/quote]

What school is this? I'm curious to know.[/quote]

It's Georgetown.  It is the only school in the area that is supposedly need blind.[/quote]

Interesting. I didn't consider Georgetown, because it doesn't have an admit rate of below 15%. Though it's really close. The only schools that did for last year were (prior to waitlist):

Universities: Ivies, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, U'Chicago, Duke, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Tufts, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley
LACs: Pomona, CMC, HMC, Pitzer, Swarthmore, Amherst, Bowdoin[/quote]
