[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]College advisor told us some colleges track whether you open their emails and if you click the links to[/b]o.That said, we saved most college visits for after acceptances. Cheaper to apply then travel a distance to ones that don't offer a spot in the end.[/quote] Only LACs and non-elite universities. The others don't have time. Seriously, best advice is to figure out your kid's major interests (assuming they have one). Aerospace engineering? Apply in-state tech, purdue, ga tech, CAl Tech, etc. Figure out your SCEA, EA, Ed RD strategy. Put in a rolling admissions application very early just to have one acceptance under your belt so everyone can relax, then attack the EAs hard. Once accepted SCEA, EA, go visit. Then if not happy put in your RDs - most will not be accepted anyhow if you are aiming high because the real game is played out at SCEA, ED EA.[/quote]
