I guess I am getting repetitive, but the kids seem to be missing the point of the search experience. You guys keep asking how to LOOK like a good, interested candidate instead of how to BE one.

The purpose of the visit isn’t to impress the admissions office; the purpose is to learn about the school. If you are seriously interested, you will WANT to visit so you can learn more. The admissions office can tell the difference.

Relax. Quit trying to be something you are not. Enjoy the process. There are a thousand good colleges out there (well, maybe not a thousand, but hundreds for sure). You will wind up someplace you love. Go find it! Don’t try to fit in someone else’s box; create your own!
