<p>Dima, I know that you are the darling of the W&L board and indeed you have generously provided opinions on every subject. Your relationship with W&L over the last 18 months and your loyalty grows with each post. I would however, respectively disagree with your opinion that Accepted Day is ONLY or primarily for those students who are undecided. I believe it is extremely helpful (to the undecided) to have the opportunity the meet as many potential class mates as possible including ED, already decided, almost decided, financial aid undecided etc. Since you frequent this site daily then you especially are aware of the range of variables that go into a decision. Emotionally, socially and financialy the process is very, very fragile. It is possible to think that you have decided only to go to a revisit day and have second thoughts. Of course from an AD Com perspective and the way in which they tailor the presentations they are still trying the ‘close the deal’. From a student and parent perspective----anything can change and still influence the final decision or for that matter CHANGE what was thought to be a decision. Even an ED who is still trying to settle the aid package–the decision is not final especially if a successful ED candidate is holding acceptances (rolling admissions) from other schools. On a lighter note, I participated in a W&L re-visit day and from my observation those who were certain that they were attending (many, many of the people that I met in fact were committed) used this opportunity to begin their cult like worship of all things W&L. I was amazed by the high number of students who were CERTAIN that W&L was a perfect match. It is very puzzling to me. In hindsight, I would say that potential students were almost being ‘rushed’ or at least examined for the rush process. Over the years I have attended revisit days at several NESCAC schools, Lafayette, F&M, Colgate, Dartmouth and I would say that the mix of decided, undecided etc were about the same. Bottom line, revisit days are terrific opportunities (despite the fact that they are scripted) to more closely examine the culture of the school, and that, in my opinion is always a very good thing!</p>
