<p>Interesting. All the schs on D’s list are relatively small (under 500) and the sch at issue has an enrollment of approx 200.</p>
<p>Yes, touring while shc is in session will give a propsie a n sense the campus “buzz.” But isn’t the adcoms conduct part of that “buzz?” </p>
<p>And if, as you advise, we assign little or no value to D’s apparent rapport w/ adcom1and overlook adcom2’s errant intervention, we will have discounted 2 of our 3actual interactions on campus. That leaves us w/ a tour guide (nice, but a White day-student into art - - nothing in common w/ black boarder propsie into sports) and the few students we passed in the halls or observed in class. Not much of a basis upon which to make an informed decision.</p>
<p>What’s the value of visiting only to be urged to ignore anything negative that one experiences or observes first-hand? (I’m not speaking of this experience - - since I did ask for input, but generally any negative remark regarding a sch prompts posts from parents/supportes insisting that the negative is not at all representative of their school.).</p>
