It’s not either/or. Yale welcomes parents and gives them the full “win over” treatment just like the admitees. Parents accompanying students aren’t intrusive nor is it a sign that they 1) lack confidence in the kid or 2) are having trouble stepping back.

There are plenty of kids with and plenty w/o parents. Neither is in indication of apron strings or helicopter parents or independent/mature students. It’s just a well-run, info program meant to win over everyone – not a meant to be an indictment of the families involved.
