[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you could use a good clear-the-air conversation. You and your DH need to get on one page about how you're willing to handle the college search process. It's got to be tricky with twins. Do they want different things? Have different abilities? Then you need to tell the twins how you're going to approach the process. One big road trip? A couple of smaller ones? You guys might benefit from a basic strategy that I often see mentioned here. Pick one city. Could be DC, could be Philly, could be Boston. They all work well for this type of trip. Visit one big and one small school. One state and one private. One religious, one non-religious. One highly selective, one less selective. Etc. (There's some overlap here ... not saying you have to visit 8 schools.) So, in Philly, you could see Penn, Temple, St. Joe's, Villanova, Haverford and Drexel. That starts to give you a sense of what the kid likes. Then you can make your next visit more targeted. [/quote]
