[quote=Anonymous]First tour - fall of sophomore year. No pressure, just to introduce the process. We did more tours in the spring/summer from sophomore to junior year and a couple more during junior year spring break. After being accepted into schools, we went back senior year and visited some of the local ones.

First standardized test - spring of sophomore year. Yes, it was early, but we were in that graduating year where the SAT was changing and students could take either. Wanted more time with the old SAT. DC did a pretty basic test prep program for the SAT then and also took a subject test that June.

Spring of junior year, same thing, but with the ACT. DC liked and did better on it compared to the SAT. Another subject test as well.

Activities and sports were always unrelated to college applications. We encouraged DC to get involved with what they enjoyed and to look for opportunities as they came - leadership roles, volunteer positions, etc. DC loved getting involved and chose to pursue some activities related to their career goals at the time because it interested them. It all worked out well. [/quote]
