[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually, the initial conversations are very broad. Do you think you would like a big school or a small school? Any ideas on majors? Would you want to be within 2 hours of home, or very far away? A tried and true strategy is to visit a few different "types" of schools. DC, Philly, and Boston are all good venues for doing this. Let's pick the DC area. You could see a large state school (Maryland), urban religious, both highly selective and high-acceptance (Georgetown, Catholic), urban nonreligious (George Washington), then kick it out to the suburbs for a couple of others. By that time, your kid should be getting some general ideas. Grades will help them start to identify targets. [/quote] Georgetown and CUA have literally nothing in common other than Georgetown was founded by a Catholic order[/quote]
