[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they have a challenging load in the Fall, and will have finished at least Algebra 2 this year, do SAT/ACT prep in the summer and take the test at the end of summer (there's an SAT on Aug 28). [b]Plan for time to do some low-key visits to different types of colleges -- big, small, urban, rural. Some kids will come away with a clear type preference and if so that's really helpful in narrowing the search. Don't fixate on any specific schools at this point.[/b] Run the numbers and get clear on what your budget is and how much debt, if any, you are willing to take on. Educate yourself about need vs merit aid.[/quote] We were planning to visit a variety of schools within a 2-3hr drive to get a sense of size only. Is that a valuable use of the summer before Jr year or no? With other kids and responsibilities we need to spread out visits if possible.[/quote]
