No offense taken- I tend to agree with you actually.
Well my son applied to Vandy ED so if he gets in- he's going. I guess that's a whole new thread-what happens when you change your mind after getting in ED to a school. Anyway- my son is undecided on a major although he leans to math and science- maybe engineering but he has a music interest as well. (Hence Vandy as a good opportunity).
My experience with the Alumni interview process was negative because I felt that the staff didn't care about my input- I felt they thought I was just there to sell the school and make their job easier. I expected them to think more about what I thought as to whether the applicant was a "good fit" apart from the usual stats. Maybe their idea was that I was to be an ambassador but I was busy too and after a while, I believed it was a waste of MY time. One person in particular REALLY wanted to go to Lafayette, I made calls for him etc. and he was rejected- that was the last straw (he went to Holy Cross)
BTW- Lafayette is a far different place than when I was there. The facilities are fantastic- especially the sports center and the student center. And the dorms are palaces compared to what I remember. I was in South College as a freshman and it's nite and day. And of course- it was all male in the 60's! Ha!
