<p>nemom, your kiddo can interview during a visit from Mudd to your school. At least in our case, the regional counselor who visited geek<em>son’s high school (and all the other schools in our area) is the same one who conducted geek</em>son’s interview at Mudd, and the same one who handled geek_son’s application.</p>
<p>As to visiting Mudd, imho there’s enough going on (and enough students still around) in the summer to make it worthwhile. Our visit was in the summer between junior and senior years, and the students there were wonderful to geek_son. Of course a summer visit is not the same as tagging along with host students for a day and spending the night in a dorm room… but that stuff is part of the pre-frosh orientation experience in April anyway. :)</p>
<p>Good luck to your kiddo!</p>
