<p>First off, sincere apologies for any perceived slight on your visits.</p>
<p>redfedora711, your situation is exactly why I have stated in other topics on this website that if you are an admitted senior, you should NOT visit on a large group visit day. In that situation, you are one of over a hundred students visiting during the same 3 1/2 hour time period with only five admissions counselors to cover.</p>
<p>Contrast that with my visitor this morning from Arizona. He was my full responsibility for the morning and had my full focus. He and his parents were able to have their own tour guide as well as meet one-on-one with me, two different Department Chairs (ABBE and PHOE), and the swim coach.</p>
<p>If there are any juniors reading this forum, please take notes and plan a post admission offer visit accordingly.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, perception is reality and we have some things to work on if we are coming off as condescending. I have worked closely with the faculty and staff at Rose-Hulman for five years now and I am proud to associate with folks so focused on the needs and success of our students. Please, redfedora711 and Salve!, PM me with specifics on what you experienced so that we can improve on the perceptions we create–intended or otherwise.</p>
