<p>Just wondering - Please post a reply to this if you are an admissions officer. You don't have to reveal anything personal or what school you work at.</p>
<p>Yes there are AOs here, but I don’t think many of them would come out of the closet here.</p>
<p>I’d guess more than a few lurk here. But only a few occasionally chime in. IIRC, last year Loomis’ Erby Mitchell chimed in to clarify something. And there is another AO from an unnamed school who has posted using an alias.</p>
<p>I’m still waiting for an AO to go “oh, you’re stargirl?” ;)</p>
<p>I have heard an AO or two talk about things they saw here. Not sure how many would come out and say here
I am unless there was a specific reason. </p>
<p>All the more reason to have care when posting questions and responses. You are, in effect, crafting an online persona… it might be a good idea to see if the online person matches the values of the offline… that way, if an AO reads any given post, you can feel confident that they are getting the right idea about you. Or – you could just do and say what you want, any way you want, and let the chips fall where they may. Your call.
