Listening, internalizing, and responding in a way that shows you're heard the student helps develop a connection and show of respect. Respect seems to be fundamental in the exchange.

Listening and asking questions is essential to relationship building.

Admissions is really about building a connection. The school is trying to show students why it’s a great place for them, and students are showing why they’d be a great fit.
