[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were at WAIS last night too. Many schools have regional directors that will be reading your child’s application. It is important for your child to meet them, shake their hand. Some were given out their resumes to directors. Others had stickers to show interest in the school or continued interest if they are already on the mailing address. My daughter talked to many and asked questions that can not be answered on the website. Show them you have been there, show them you are going this summer. Tell them what you like and ask specific questions.

She talked to a few she had never thought of. She liked previous alumni students who now work in admissions. That showed her the school seriously takes their students seriously and aren’t hiring flakey people who dob5 truly know the school.

We have been to multiple fairs, have done mock interviews, and have visited schools. About 5 regionals have remembered her and that spoke volumes too. [/quote]

OP here.  Well my DS is only interested in the top schools, which do not track interest.  He did sign into his safety schools, but frankly, still not worth the time.  We'll still be visiting the safeties over the summer.  The admin people weren't looking to remember names and there was no sign in sheet.  He'll do fine when he submits his app on paper as he has excellent stats and EC's.  No need to schmooze.  [/quote]

Is this a troll? You can’t be that dumb? I was at the same college fair as you and everyone was very involved and had sign ups. If you are only reaching for Ivy, you will be disappointed. [/quote]

Not a troll.  I am OP.  We are not reaching for ivies..just strong schools, and they all do not track interest.  Only two of the schools my DS is looking at (safeties) track interest.  We signed the sheet.  He will be just fine.

Okay. Nothing like being over confident.   :roll: [/quote]
