[quote=Anonymous]DD came down to two LACs that seemed pretty similar. She did repeat visits at both, one for a scholarship interview and the other just for a day-long visit that was offered. For both she got to talk with some students, meet a professor, see the campus again. She came away with a clear feeling that the vibe was right at one and not at the other. For, her those focused visits were better than an admitted student day (she did go to that for her 1st choice) because she really doesn't like big crowds and it was more of a normal on-campus day.

But, it helped that she had been very clear on what she was looking for going into the applications-- her list of schools were all very similar to each other. With a very diverse list I'd say go back to what were the top priorities -- certain academic programs, location, etc. to trim it down. Then see if you can schedule visits at a time more convenient to you than just waiting on admitted student days. At the school DD ultimately accepted they arranged a visit where she sat in on a class, met with a professor, and had lunch with a couple students doing the program she wanted. [/quote]
