[quote=Anonymous]My regret is that we didn't take registered visits/tours to the colleges my kid was interested in attending when they were a Junior in HS.   Just a guess, but I do believe that inflated grades since Covid, the new test optional approach many schools have adopted and the common app has changed the admissions landscape. I also would suggest spending time on the college sites that your DC applied to.  Interest seems to have an impact on admission in our experience .

If we had to do it again, college visits would be mostly be concluded Junior year (with others happening early year of being a Senior).  In our experience, jamming college trips/tours into a couple months became overwhelming for our DC.  Too many schools DC saw, and impressed by most.

If we gave out DC time to think about the schools we visited earlier in the process, our DC would have had time to narrow down the schools we visited /toured.  In my opinion, in this new admissions process, ED would be the way to go if DC loved a couple universities over others.

I don't regret this, but advice to parents.  Even if you don't apply ED, I would recommend applying EA to all schools your DC is interested in attending.[/quote]
