[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But then the article goes on to say that the elite schools don't care about demonstrated interest and went so far as to say ":rank (of university) is inversely correlated with demonstrated interest".  And that was our experience.  Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Wash. & Lee, UVA, Dickinson = didn't care, no sign-up sheet.  Gettysburg did take down names but it was to arrange people in groups for tours.  My LAC did the same - the names were only for putting 30 in a group for each tour.

Okay, easy enough to say that they don't care, but every one of the schools you mentioned has online pre-registration for tours and information sessions, and many of them say that during busy times, many of them will restrict tours only to those who are registered and that walk-ins cannot be accommodated.  I find it hard to believe that any of you would just show up on a campus without some advance notice and expect to be accommodated.  We've done that for some unplanned "drive throughs" but never for a formal visit.  We've always gotten a lot out of the information sessions and special events, student panels, class visits, etc.  If you really want to "Make the college visit count," at least let them know you are coming![/quote]
