Hmm, not our family’s experience at all.I wonder if this is the whole story?

Of course some professors may not want to engage with “prospies” as it is not in their defined responsibilities, and really, isn’t a great use of their time.My H the college professor does meet with anyone when asked, calls parents/kids if admissions asks, but some in his department refuse to-maybe some of that was going on?

I don’t believe a coach would ignore a good prospect unless the contact was at a bad time, or unreasonable in some way. That assertion REALLY makes no sense.

My boys preferred admissions talks by students-much better-MIT, Bates and Williams were done that way as well. The Amherst and Bowdoin talks by alumni directors got thumbs down from both of them…
