[quote=Anonymous]Families really vary, but our DC had no interest in looking at colleges as a sophomore. By spring of junior year though DC knew his test scores, had a more clear idea of what he wanted to study in college, and understood the financial piece. Visits were much more productive with those things in place. When DC was a sophomore, I did start doing some reading, and that helped more than anything. The one thing that maybe has changed, but hasn't been mentioned is the importance of establishing a personal connection with someone at the school -- again something that is best done spring of junior year. DC is applying ED and knows the representative well. The representative gave tips for completing the best application but more importantly will possibly be able to go to bat for DC. It isn't possible everywhere, and not measured at a few schools, but showing interest is important. [/quote]
