Admitted Students Day - Worth It?

For my D, it was the deciding factor for both her and us. We learned a lot at the different schools and more in depth about their programs. For the school decided on, I was really impressed by some of the students that we met. At the end of that day she had decided (and we didn’t need to attend any other admitted days). For my S, we had already decided, but it was still a great learning experience and a chance for him to meet people and get a feel for life on campus.

So many parents I have spoken too have mentioned how on Admitted Day their kid “found their people” and knew that was the school for them.

Not everyone has the resources to attend every admitted day, but if you can I recommend it. You never know what you’ll learn (good or bad).

One last thought…your kid has spent months selling himself/herself to the colleges — now it’s the colleges turn to sell themselves to you! Enjoy it!
