<p>Funny, when our kids were applying to colleges -even to very competitive programs that accepted a minority of applicants -we found that adcoms seemed to want to be speaking with us whenever they could, and were more than ready to give us reasons why one or the other should attend their school, if accepted, perhaps because they realized that Frazzled kids would have an array of choices, and that we would be footing the bills. Schools also put on presentations for parents at accepted student events.</p>
<p>In short, I would not worry about calling adcoms to set up appointments, if this cannot be done online by your student.</p>
