[quote=Anonymous]Peter wasn't great for us. Didn't know schools outside the narrow NW Bethesda Potomac corridor-didn't know selective publics at all. Many families apply to both and need to look broadly at pros and cons... Its worth noting that Admissions Directors very often wear a "sales person" hat as well -- When they admit kids who then choose to go elsewhere ( "low yield") its challenging for them. A talented AD can influence a consultant and send a message that a particular kid who has a choice between a few competing schools, is the best fit for their school. They can also help the consultant better understand their program, so the consultant steers more applications their way or sells it more effectively to prospective families. So yes it is in their interest to talk to whomever might help them get a high number of applicants so the school seems competitive, and then get a large portion of those accepted, enrolled-so the yield is high.
