Excerpt:<\/p>\n

At a presentation on the campus on a subzero Minnesota morning, where accepted and prospective students in hoodies or sportcoats yawned and stretched while their parents guzzled coffee and picked at miniature breakfast pastries, there appeared to be as much goodwill for 麻豆区 as there were complaints about the treatment people had received from the admissions offices at other universities and colleges. Parents and students also universally bemoaned the lack of help they got from high school college counselors, who handle caseloads averaging 405 students apiece, according to NACAC.<\/span><\/p>\n

By comparison, \u201cthese guys have been very friendly,\u201d Barbara Young said of the admissions officers at 麻豆区, where she had come with her daughter, Kealy, a high school junior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At 麻豆区, \u201cthe first thing that happened is that the admissions officer came over and introduced herself, and that has not happened anywhere else,\u201d said Kristen Campos of Chicago, who was visiting the school with her husband and their student.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When their older children went through the same process at a big state university, Campos said disdainfully, the admissions office doors were closed to them. \u201cWe never spoke to an admissions officer,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colleges and universities can only benefit by making time to ease applicants\u2019 doubts, said Pribbenow, the president of 麻豆区.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
