[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We made the decision with our second child to make the impressions at college fairs, engage the schools, etc., but in some cases not visit until admitted.

With our first we did the big Southern loop of schools during Spring Break Junior year and he ended up applying to only one of about eight we visited. We didn’t bother with that this time around. We will visit a couple of places on admitted students day instead. [/quote]

Yes and no. I am just finishing up the process for the second time around. First DD was during Covid so we couldn't see many schools. For second DD, she really didn't have much interest in visiting schools but I managed to get her to two big state schools. She went on to apply to only big state schools and now we are visiting where she got in. While I think she is ok with where she applied, I do wonder if it would have been better to take her to see a wider variety of schools and in different parts of the country. It would have given her more to compare and to think about what she is really looking for. [/quote]
