<p>I hear it is beneficial to keep in touch with your desired school's regional rep. Has anyone done this? and do you generally simply introduce yourself and ask a question?</p>
<p>Yes, that is a start. Try to find out if they will be visiting in your area.</p>
<p>Definitely yes. From an earlier post of mine:</p>
<p>The Duke adcom that came to our school was really nice It helped that she was responsible for our region, her family lives in the same city, and her son went to my high school. She gave me her card, spent some time afterwards to talk to me and answered my emails. Plus, when I visited on Blue Devil Day for accepted students she was there handing out info packets and she remembered me! She started talking about my app and stuff, very amazing. </p>
<p>So you should get to know your regional reps, they are your representative to admissions.</p>
