[quote=Anonymous]There is no right or wrong answer on any of this.  Many people do excessive trips starting even before the Junior year, and many visit schools well before they know whether they are in reach.  In any event, it is helpful to visit if you can, and generally highly desirable to visit before accepting.  But many kids attend colleges they did not visit, many also attend colleges they visited only after they are accepted.  Some of the smaller schools do gauge interest because it can affect their yield, and it is worth trying to figure out if any of the schools your child is interested in fall within that category and some also do interviews (but I think only beginning in the Spring of your Junior year) and those too might be worth hitting, but they are typically not mandatory.  The only real advice is that if it is possible, visit when in session, even on a Saturday, as opposed to the summer.  A summer visit can likely be done just as easily from their website unless you are primarily checking out the area rather than the school.       [/quote]
