<p>Neither of my parents can go to all of the revisit day (my mom can only drop me off and pick me up.) I think that she doesn't think that it is that important, but I want to go. Should I try to have her bring me, or should I just not go?</p>
<p>Go. Don't miss it. You'll be fine.</p>
<p>Make sure that she comes in with you to sign you or explain the situation though, just so the school knows and that you look like you are allowed to be there.</p>
<p>It depends on the type of person you are. My son prefers to go to such events alone. D on the other hand wants us around only as an icebreaker and then disappears. No wrong answer, depends on your comfort level.</p>
<p>In general, the parents and the students go to different events. The accepted students attend a few classes and shadow another student. The parents attend discussion groups and presentations. I think the suggestion that one of your parents go with you to registration is a good idea. I think you will be fine by yourself, and you will benefit from going to the revisit.</p>
<p>Your mom can drop you off. There will be teachers, staff and students to direct you. You can also call admissions and tell them you'll be attanding and they may match you up with another student or family. I'm sure this happens all of the time. Have a wonderful time visiting!</p>
<p>jazzlyn...you will have a great time. My husband and I both went....but for my husband, it was like he wasn't really there (except when it was time to see the athletic facilities). I love meetings and I am an information hound, so it really appealed to me, but if your mom is all set with you going, then she won't miss vital information. It is really just a chance to get to know the school better and meet the people. It is too bad she can't make it, because she would really enjoy it, but you will be fine! Have a wonderful day.
Do make sure when you sign in that you let them know your mom won't be staying (or maybe she can sign in with you at least) so they can give you (or she can pick up) any packets/papers meant specifically for the parents.
Jazlyn, do tell your mom and dad, if there is any way that they can get to even a portion of the day (it is broken up into many short meetings so it is easy to come and go), that they will enjoy it very much and be happy that they went.</p>
<p>just go....i am going to revisit day on my own also</p>
<p>i would totahly go! chances are, the parents and kids are seperated for the day anyway.</p>
<p>jazzlyn, which revisit day did you sign up for? If it was today, did you enjoy it?</p>
<p>I am going tomorrow. I'm happy because my mom will be able to stay until nine thirty :) And I'm going to post tomorrow what I thought of it!</p>
<p>Okay...good for you! Have fun!!!</p>
<p>I did all of my interviews in the late summer (and early fall for one). I just did one last week, too where i think i will go (dad, not me wants). Would it be worth it to take him to some of the ones out east now that i was accepted at and have him look? also, would i change my mind (not like some out east) after seeing students in them. I am not very preppy, wear boots and jeans....maybe i would not fit in at the elite eastern schools?</p>
<p>I'm going with my mother and my grandmother, because my dad has already seen the school when we visited to interview. My parents are divorced, so they didn't want to go to together. It should be interesting, though I'm sure my mom and grandma will act fine as my "parents"</p>
<p>BiggestFoot, if you can get your dad to go with you on an east coast swing, you should definitely consider doing so. First, it's a great road-trip opportunity with your dad, opportunities for which will dwindle quickly as you get older. Second, you might surprise yourself, and him, with how comfortable you feel at such a school. And, of course, you might not feel comfortable, which would help solidify your decision to stay out west and reduce the 'buyer's remorse' you might feel if never at least kick the tires. </p>
<p>Just my $0.02 worth.</p>
<p>Are you talking about the visit to NMH? If so, you will be fine alone. We went yesterday. Most of it was done by 12:30. Then there was a list of options for you to pursue. There is a student panel for the first part then you go off with your guide and meet up at the end.</p>
