[quote=Anonymous]Make sure you visit ED during the school year, especially for slacs where fit is key. Academic year is really busy for DC and we tried to do the bulk of the visiting over the summer before senior year. Thank goodness we were close enough to easily revisit the 2 ED finalists in fall—we got much more info and one of the original ED contenders moved way down the preference list. Some slacs have open house days in fall where you can sit in on a class, there are panels and more to do than just tour and info session. None of those worked for our schedule, but something to look out for. If you can’t visit a slac before applying, make sure the kid is doing the webinars, chats, optional interviews, etc to demonstrate interest— for slacs I think showing them love really matters, especially the safeties and targets.
