[quote=Anonymous]Specifically during high school before applying?  NONE

All our lives on vacations traveling from one place to another?  Definitely over ONE HUNDRED.

By the time we were in middle school I think each of us had a pretty good idea where we wanted to go to school because we had seen so many already.  We never did the tours but if we were on our way from the DMV to Upstate New York, for example, then we detoured into Manhattan, Dad drove to Fordham or Columbia, parked, we walked the campus, went to the book store, got back into the car and continued our road trip.  Driving through Boston, hey, let's look at BC or Harvard or MIT.  In Milwaukee, we saw Marquette.  In Houston we saw Rice University and UT.  In Omaha we saw Creighton and UNO.  You get the picture.  Literally every trip we were in the car we did this.  My Dad was the first in his family to go to college and he went to a commuter college because he was working his way through.  He wanted to be sure that we had more options than he did.

We have done the same with our kids.  But we also did a few on-purpose visits junior year, too.[/quote]
