<p>I’m basically underscoring how most adcoms or other higher-ed folks perceive parents who are as involved dealing with D2’s Profs and other college admins as you’ve just admitted in your comment. </p>
<p>That was what the OP was asking about…and I’m trying to provide an answer that’s closest to the source as possible…directly from the adcoms/alum interviewers or Profs themselves as I’ve heard it firsthand from them. </p>
<p>Personally, I feel that level of involvement would be fine if a student was in K-8…maybe even high school. For undergrad, however, that’s way too much parental involvement. </p>
<p>Also, the reason why they can’t “do anything about it” that there’s such a critical mass of helicopter parents…especially full-pay upper/upper-middle class parents and higher-ed admins willing to cater to them that “trying to do something about it” is commonly perceived as career suicide.</p>
