[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admissions rep.from Mt. Holyoke asked me where we summered. Nope. Not gonna fit in there. [/quote]

:D [/quote]

Wow. I’m shocked. We visited twice  and both my kid and I loved it. It seemed very warm and caring. And trust me, we’re not “summer” people! [/quote]

+1 We actually thought it was the least like this out of the ones we visited. [/quote]

Shows what an outsized impact tours and meetings can have. [/quote]

Very very true.   A good tour can deal the deal and an off tour or some difficulty with the tour or the weather, etc. can sour a student on a school.  [/quote]

+1 My DD had a bad tour early in the summer (learned my lesson, no summer tours!) and now I'm doing damage control, encouraging her to take another look. It does have a good program for her interest (although the tour guide knew nothing about that major) and is the natural choice to have on her list as both an admissions and financial safety. I learned after that to, whenever possible, plan for open houses rather than general tours since she'll have more opportunity to talk with people in her specific interest area.[/quote]
