[quote=Anonymous]We visited a total of 6 or 7 schools and my DC ended up applying to only one of them (she applied to 7 schools total).  We didn't really do much research before visits - most of them were fit into family vacations.  Now we have five acceptances (two more pending and likely to be acceptances) and limited time/money to visit the other schools.  These were mostly rolling admissions, or schools that had EA, so now I'm starting to worry that she'll end up in the worst dorms if she waits too long to make a decision.  I do not think she will end up committing to a school without visiting.

Right now, her current favorite is (not surprisingly) the one school she did visit before applying.  We all liked the campus and it felt like a good fit for her.  However, there are two others that would be considered "better" schools in general (but in a region of the country DC has never been to), and there is another that may be an even better fit for her (she has at least been to the city where the school is located).  We'll likely try to fit in a visit to one or two, but no more than that.  I think that if she had applied in state or in neighboring states, we would have done more visits.  [/quote]
