[quote=Anonymous]Okay this is complicated so looking for help.  We live in DMV and want to make the most of spring break for visits because DD (junior) will be away all summer.   She's seen Brown (reach, obviously) and UMD and is going to see Oberlin and Kenyon next week.

DH and I need to split up the spring break trip because other DC needs to be home and can't be alone.  Here's her list rated by what schools she's excited to see:

Dartmouth
UVM
Vassar 
Ithaca
Syracuse
Cornell 
Connecticut College 
Skidmore
Bard
Wesleyan

I'm inclined to wait on Vassar and Skidmore unless/until she gets in because they don't give merit aid.  I want her to see more "likely" schools but not against going to see Dartmouth if we do UVM.  We just want her to have a fun spring break getting excited about a few more schools and having alone time with each parent.  But the driving/location schedule is overwhelming me!  I am thinking one parent leaves with her Thursday night 3/31 (she doesn't have school on Friday), does a visit Friday/Monday (maybe Saturday if offered), the come back Monday night. Tuesday down time and leaves with other parent Wednesday morning for visit Thursday/Friday (maybe Saturday if offered) and return on the weekend.  She's not a kid who can do more than one visit in a day, and is going to need some down time/restaurant/fun time in between.

I did make a previous post looking for recommendations for Syracuse/Ithaca, and I definitely think we want this to be one leg of the trip - but it's a far drive.

Suggestions?
