[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not dressed appropriately. Knew nothing about the school except that it was really prestigious. Made no effort to make conversation or ask or answer questions throughout the length of the tour (the student tour guides did an admirable job of trying to include them but eventually gave up). Easily distracted by trivial things. Knowing the basics of how to behave on a tour is really not that hard. And they had no clue. They were not disruptive or rude or anything like that.[/quote]

I'm a prep school + Ivy graduate and I've never worn a suit on a tour; I've seldom encountered an admissions officer or faculty member who was either. (I usually just wear a sweater or maybe at most a collared shirt)

As far as questions/engagement, we've been on some tours with families like that but as often as not it seems to be a comfort level or cultural thing; actually in a few cases my kid has gotten their kid more engaged than the parents seem inclined to be. I don't expect that most schools would count that against them unless they were disruptive in some way.[/quote]
