[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kind of opposite of the prompt, but [b]Mason rose significantly after our tour. [/b] The student guide was really outstanding and at ease with the students as well as the parents.  And funny!  I would say both UVA and Tech tours were not great.  Felt like you were being herded.  I had the song "Welcome to the Machine" going through my head at both places.[/quote]

Sure.  Pick GMU over UVA based on the tour guide.  Real smart of you.[/quote]

and while I am sure you are one of pot stirrers on this board because she didn't say they "chose"  UVA over GMU, just that they liked the tour better. I'm gonna guess not too many people turn down UVA for GMU but clearly when you are in the touring part of the college search process, you see lots of different schools, from safeties to reaches.[/quote]

FWIW Mason does a great job with the tours (it tracks demonstrated interest).  DD got in EA, and we were one and done.  Animation and Econ.  She had a wonderful four years. Yes, lived in the dorms all four years. Made gobs of friends.  Got great internships in animation and computer game design and was employed before commencement.[/quote]
