[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was really helpful for my DC.  Helped them really get a feel for the schools.  We targeted schools they were serious about (didn’t do long shots like Ivy, although DC perhaps could have gotten in).  [b]We stressed schools that look at demonstrated interest or he interviews on campus.[/b]  We even visited 3 schools near each other that were top contenders twice.

I found the visits got my DC excited about college and seeing what it was about since most of the focus has been on grades, course selection, tests, etc. Wanted DC to see what it was all for.

I recognize not everyone does that.  You have to do what works for your student.[/quote]

+1     For many reasons even before she visited the campus my DD had one school at the top, by far, of her list that she was most excited about. The school valued demonstrated interest. We visited, my DD became even more certain that the school was what she wanted and she applied ED. Got accepted this past Dec

With many schools, applications have increased so greatly that showing interest is just smart to do. There are various ways to show interest but visiting the campus and taking a tour is an obvious one.[/quote]
