WWC4me:

didn’t really care if we decided on URoch or not.

They probably don’t as they often have a higher yield than expected - way too high some years in the recent past.

But I wouldn’t let the lack of a red carpet sway a student’s decision TBH. Their 4 years anywhere isn’t going to be dealing with those folks.

I see kids (and parents) at high school swayed by swag, mailings, and whether the cookies were good at presentations. It stuns me TBH. Finances, offerings in the major or likely fields, other aspects of fit (location, size, research, etc), all make sense to keep or cut a school, but admissions (tours, presentations, swag, etc)? Why? Do we love a car or house more/less because of a sales presentation? Should we? It can be really good to focus on what’s really important (which may, or may not, be URoc) for your student.
