[quote=Anonymous]OP, I doubt you will able to schedule visits for next year now, but do schedule a couple months in advance.  Our travel plans just changed, and when I went to reschedule some spring break visits today (about a month in advance), some of the slots were filled.  Don't plan too far ahead since your DC's interests can change so much in a year.  You can get a lot done on a budget by doing a driving tour.  We started in the fall of junior year with in-state schools.  That was helpful to give DC an idea of what type of school he wants (rural vs. urban, small vs. large, etc.).  This spring we are doing a "southern tour" (see the other thread) all within driving distance.  In August we will do schools that we have to fly to.  I figure it is a good idea to save those for last because DC will have test scores by then and will have a better sense of what schools interest and might be available to him.  No sense in wasting a plane trip on a school that might be beyond reach, or on a big school if a few local visits confirm that DC wants a small school, for example.   I figure the fall will be for any repeat visits where he might want to sit in on a class or do an interview.  Good luck![/quote]
