[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 schools is possible, but be prepared for overload. Create a data sheet for each school and complete after each tour. Focus on what is important to your child. For example: size of school, majors, activities, Greek life, dorms, athletics, weather, rural, big city,etc. Your daughter could also come up with a rating scale. The more info you have, the easier it is to create an application list. My DH would ask the following question for each visit for each of my kids: Can you imagine yourself here on this campus?[/quote]

Agree with this although my kids had very different approaches. Kid 1 had a notebook where she took notes, made observations, stored relevant campus info stuff. Also took lots of photos on each tour. She was very into making her application list and her ultimate choice by herself. Kid 2 had no interest in that kind of process so after each visit we made a list in the car of the top 3-4 likes/concerns about the college. He was much more interested in discussing the pros and cons with us and hearing our views. So definitely adapt the approach to what works for your kid.[/quote]
