[quote=Anonymous]My DD is an above average, though not stellar student. We can afford in-state schools only, so she cast a very wide net applying, hoping that some OOS and private schools would offer enough merit money for her to attend, as she does not want to take loans.

She's been accepted to a few schools that have offered her a nice amount of merit aid, but because they are OOS and not offering tours, she has lost interest in several of them. Yes, she's viewed the "virtual tours" online, but feels they are no substitute for being on campus and having the opportunity to talk to a guide one on one while she's looking at the school.

Some of the in state schools on her list where she's been accepted and that we could easily afford are falling into this "not interested" boat. While we want her to make the final choice for the best fit school for her, we feel she is sort of writing off some potentially good schools because she can't tour. (That being said, the tours we have been able to take have definitely helped her to decide "Yes, I'd like to go here" vs "Definitely not for me". We are hoping a few more in state schools will offer tours in the spring if the COVID numbers go down.

Anyone else finding that their DC is less interested in schools they cannot visit?[/quote]
