[quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing this is your first, as young’s sibs usually get dragged along and will have a different approach.

These two PP encapsulate where we mostly were.

[quote=Anonymous]Junior year.  Start with safeties. The first schools you visit will always seem more interesting so you never want to start with the best schools out there.  [/quote]
[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t attempt to visit “all these” schools. Try to find 4-5 that represent different types/sizes of schools—urban, large public flagship, SLAC, etc. When they get a sense of what type of experience feels right, than you can plan a little more efficiently.[/quote]
I’d also consider “clumping” them, visiting 2-3 on the same trip. And we chose to not visit what we knew we couldn’t afford (dream school or not).

We were also pleasantly surprised that “early” visits yielded a few “no, thank yous”. We were also fortunate DC1 fell in love with a safety and never waivered.

Bottom line, you do [i]not[/i] need to visit them all before applying.[/quote]
