[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your DD a junior or sophomore? IF sophomore a quick drive around to look at schools in a general sense even if no formal tours could make plenty of sense-Phillly is great because every possible type of school is within a few miles of each other: competitive inner city Ivy (Penn), coop school (Drexel), mid-sized Catholic ([b]Villanova[/b]), and then the single sex vs hippie vs preppy SLACS (Bryn Maryr,[b] Swarthmore[/b], Haverford).  After a while the tours all sound alike anyway, and much better in our experience is for your DD to reach out to anyone from his/her high school that is a student at any school of interest and see if your kid can have coffee with him/her or if your kid is particularly shy, ask the student if you can take them out for coffee or lunch (free food and the ability to talk about themselves and their school usually results in a positive response!)

Thanks all! She's a junior.  The bolded ones above are on her list.  We did a couple formal visits locally last year.[/quote]
