[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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] All in the last three years. Elite? Whatever that means - yes, I guess some would be "elite" by DCUM standards. The article you linked starts off with a really strange premise: [i]There is an entire industry around college visits, and [b]usually the primary goal is to demonstrate interest to a university[/b].[/i] Of all the college visits we went on, our number one goal was to get a sense of whether that school, or that type of school, would be a good fit. We never visited a school for the specific purpose of demonstrating interest. We never got too caught up in the hype though and are probably an outlier here.[/quote]
