<p>My D set up an alumni interview last month for a top 10 Engrg school. The interview went well
over an hour. Then the interviewer wanted to talk to me (father) as well. So we talked.
The interviewer really wanted D to visit campuas in next 4 weeks. He stated he would hold back sending in the recc until we told him by email within 3 days of the interview the day we would visit. That seemed a bit wierd? have any others been told their writeup is a "hostage" for a positive response to visit? First, it is a reach school, and if significant FinAid is not offered, my D cannot attend. We wrote back email to the alum that we certainly would visit if she was accepted. No response. So am sitting here wondering if the writeup was not favorable, and if this really should have any bearing on an alum writeup? Just curious...what if anything I should do next, notify the school?</p>
<p>Don’t overthink this. Clearly you’re seeing a strong display of interest. Visit.</p>
