[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did a mix of schools. If you do a spring break trip you can visit some of your suggestions on your way to your DCs choices. Agree that you need to find a few comfortable safeties.

As for timing, I found fall of senior year way too late. My DC did one ED and 2 EA apps and those were due Nov 1 (and SAT scores for at least one had to be received by Nov 1 to qualify for EA and transcript requests had to be turned in to the school by the 2nd week of October). So most of the application list and strategy needed to be set by early October. My DC also did a fall sport so with schoolwork, applications and sports had no free time in the fall for visits. We did most in the spring and a few in the summer.

We visited a lot of schools but my DC is applying to 3 we didn't visit. If those are options DC wants to consider then she can visit in April. [/quote]

I would have to agree. The fall is too late. We hope to get one or two schools in on Spring break and a few in the summer. DD has seven on her list. [/quote]
