[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please!  The big schools, ivies and SLACs don't track at all.  You can go to any school and take a tour without giving your name.  If you want to give a name and are afraid of discrimination, give a fake name.  End of problem.  Of all the schools we toured only my LAC had a sign-up list and I really doubt they ever looked at it again other than to make sure no more than 30 were in a tour group at a time.[/quote]

[b]That's odd, because I've toured somewhere between 30 and 40 universities over the years with my kids, and every single one of them had some sort of pre-registration process for campus visits.  Maybe it is because we mostly did "junior days" or "senior days" or admitted student programs, but I don't recall "just showing up" for any campus visit.[/b][/quote][b]

Was this recently and were they elite institutions?  The college admissions world has changed a lot just in the last few years.  Rank is inversely correlated with demonstrated interest.  https://www.huffingtonpost.com/ishan-puri/college-visits-do-they-re_b_11339892.html[/quote]
