[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely think speaking to admissions officers matters. My dd did for a very random school across the country and ended up getting max merit. She did not get any at a similar school she had no contact with. [b]My ds called a big school with some specific questions about the process[/b], was very polite and I think made a good impression: he got max merit there. Dd applied to the same school, is a stronger student with good ECs and got none.[/quote] DD is struggling to do this because the answers to all process questions can be found on-line. Can you give an example of a genuine question or two that justifies reaching out to an AO? [/quote] A large school likely gets dozens of calls to the AO each day. No way are they tracking exactly who each caller is and using that to make admissions decision. This is an anecdote the poster has overblown into causation just because their other child had a different outcome.[/quote]
