<p>DD and I are attending our first two info sessions soon, one for an IVY, and the other for a top LAC. I’m not sure what is appropriate as far as introducing yourself, should it just be D, or D and myself, what if anything would be questions that they might ask of DD? Both these schools are very high on her list so she wants to make a good impression. Thank you.</p>
<p>Have your D introduce herself without you right there (although it wouldn’t be a sin if you were standing there as well). I would have your D let the rep know how much she loves that school (maybe that it is her first choice) and how she could see herself fitting in well as well as any question that may not be easily answered with a little research. Have her ask the rep for a business card in case she has any further questions, etc. Then have your D follow up with an email/letter to that rep reiterating her interest and thanking him/her for taking a short moment to answer her questions, etc.</p>
<p>I would let your D do all the talking. Personally, I stand to the side when my S meets with any rep. I am a talker and don’t need the temptation to butt in when my two cents aren’t required. </p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>Here’s an informative thread:<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=389155[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=389155</a></p>
<p>There are good questions for your D in there too. your presence won’t offend anyone – the schools know that they need to win over parents too. Just don’t dominate any conversation or ask a question from the audience like : “how easy is it for kids to get illicit drugs” or “how’s the underage drinking”</p>
<p>1) your D will disavow any knowledge of your shared DNA and
2) the speaker will give a canned answer – not really informing you of anything</p>
