my 17 year old is thinking of going to this without me. I was wondering do most parents attend with their kids?
hi there. i know a lot of people who attended the march event for early notified regular decision applicants by themselves. i, myself, am attending one of the admitted students days programs by myself because neither my mother nor father can make it with me. it’s very common, though i understand why it would make a parent uncomfortable. it took a lot of coaxing for my parents to allow me to go by myself.
I went to a couple of these at different schools (not Grinnell). There were local students who were there without parents. For the kids who had to fly in or who had a multi-hour drive, as far as I could tell most or all brought a parent. In both cases I thought that these were very much worthwhile.
