[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks- and for schools that have tours/open houses in addition to indiv appts with people, how important for the proces is it for my husband to do the tour. He would be there for the appts, but not sure he can do all open houses and the appts.[/quote]

As long as you can pass on relevant information about the school to your husband before the interview, I am sure it's not a big deal to them.  I am certain that many families have a situation where both parents can't make every tour and every interview.

I will say, however, that having my husband along at the tours really helped.  It was nice to compare our thoughts afterwards and helped us to digest it all.  Especially when we would notice different things - which happened every time.  Note that these included both good and bad things.  And sometimes we brought of up different things because of how we each felt about what might be important (or not) in the grand scheme of things.  Those were really useful conversations to have and I am 100% sure my husband would never have "gone there" with such thoughts if he had not actually been there for the tours.

I also thought it was really useful for us to bounce off each other when trying to remember the different schools and compare them to each other.  In the end, there is no perfect school, so it gets a little mind boggling to compare the plusses and minuses of the different programs and weigh which were most important overall. (we were lucky to have choices in where to go)

Anyway - again - if he can't come, then don't beat yourself up about it - but I wanted to share that I found it helpful.

Good luck!  And don't get caught up in the frenzy - you'll see what I mean when you start going to the schools.  People can get really worked up by the process, so try to take a deep breath and don't get caught up in that energy.
