[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way my kids would want to miss all their fast-moving AP classes for info they can get online. These visits are entirely useless. Usually it's a little table with flyers, maybe a small presentation that's indistinguishable from all the others, and Q&A. Sometimes they do take names, but you can also go to the website and sign up for a virtual tour.

It's best to hop on occasional webinars organized by the PTA to figure out what college admissions officers are like, and how admissions work - they work the same at every school, with a few peculiarities at some, that you can find on their website. Then you can organize a tour of likely urban, rural, small and large schools at some point.

Yes my DD went through the process last year and her advice to her younger brother is to do fewer visits with reps than she did. She thinks it wasn't a great use of her time and she found going to more than 2-3 to be draining plus lost class time she had to make up in fast-moving high rigor classes.[/quote]
