<p>For us, it wasn’t a matter of nerves, it was a matter of logistics. Many of the colleges my D was interested in required person-to-person phone contact (no email) to schedule interviews. This phone contact was possible only during the Admissions Office’s business hours. One could even call during those hours and still get an answering machine and a request for a call back. My D’s school did not permit students to carry phones and I did not wish to encourage her to break the rules. She didn’t have time during the day to play telephone tag with Admissions. They don’t care who makes the appointment. Now showing up for the interview with your kid is a different matter. That, I would not do.</p>
