<p>We’ve never taken part in such an event, and don’t need it this year (yippee!) If you’re looking to build a school list, this could be a great opportunity to check out possible schools from the comfort of your own home.</p>
<p>My experience with this last year was that there were a lot of schools that were NOT represented . . . but there were still a few that we were interested in that were there. And we had a great video chat with the admissions reps from one school that my son later submitted an application to. (And got accepted to, although I don’t think there’s a connection! :))</p>
<p>We used it, too, to talk to reps at 2 schools that were on our list. The technology is so new that it is by no means standard yet, so you have pretty much have the school rep’s attention in that environment. We found it useful.</p>
