College Confidential - View Single Post - Adcom wouldn't let me to talk to "random" students

D toured and interviewed at s BS yesterday. While D was meeting w/ one adcom, I went to the cafeteria for coffer. While there I saw and approached a group of black students and asked them about their experience at the school. A diff adcom observed this, called me over (while someone else shooed away the students) and then told me that she would be happy to bring students into the office to meet with me.

I declined the offer b/c I didn't want to speak to hand-picked students; nor did I want adcoms hovering. Also, I thought the purpose of the on-site visit was to get a first-hand view of the sch and to speak to students.

D like the school and she established rapaport w/ adcom1, the interviewer, but my interaction w/ adcom2 soured me on the sch.

Am I making a mt out of a mole-hill?
