[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP or others on the board did your DC visit all schools prior to applying? DD wants to look at some schools in north and south and TX for the program she wants to study. I am thinking we visit those within driving distance and wait to see if she gets in at the schools farther away and then visit?? Thoughts?[/quote]

We did not visit all of the schools to which DC applied. We did visit a few of the more selective ones, including the one to which DC was accepted (DC's first choice!). We wanted to visit more but it became too much due to distance. So we decided that if DC was accepted at a school we were seriously considering, we could simply visit afterwards.

While visiting DC's 1st choice school we met a student who'd already been accepted. So it's not at all unusual for prospective students to visit [b]after[/b] acceptance. In fact, most schools have visitation days/tours/special days for accepted students for this very reason. We received a similar invitation from DC's 1st choice. Although we visited prior, we're going to again, this time viewing the school through a different lense, of course.[/quote]
