[quote=Anonymous]There are lots of reasons to visit schools that are outside the DMV area: application fees, supplemental essays can be time-consuming, demonstrated interest, and to evaluate fit and atmosphere. We could not visit many of the colleges my DC was considering that would have required a flight -- but we did take a combination vacation/college tour in the Boston/New England area which helped us see a number of different types of schools. DC was able to remove some schools that were previously under serious consideration off the list based on our observations from the tours. Visiting schools is worth it but obviously needs to be within reason.[/quote]
