[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pp who's dc is deciding between UGA Wisconsin and possibly Michigan. He is visiting all again mid to late April. Do people really cut it this close? I'm having such anxiety about the rushed timing, or if he gets sick and can't visit when he plans and him not being able to decide.  I can't believe it's come down ot the wire.  He has travel and a senior spring break trip and then a sports thing he doesn't want to miss first weekend in April.  Do these second visits and/or tours once they're admitted really help seal the deal? He visited both a year ago w just us went out briefly. The return visits are for games, meeting kids in frat, one seeing tour of business school, and I guess just more overnight w kids who are students there. [/quote]

I get it.  I have an indecisive senior that warned us they might need up to until 5/1 to make a decision, add in FAFSA delays and trying to make a decision to sign up for admitted student visit or at least book a visit without knowing the full financial picture, and my senior staying 100% involved with every activity and adding some new ones which gave limited windows for admitted student days.

First I acknowledge that with COVID restrictions etc, the first two years of high school were tough and these experiences senior year, you don’t want to take for granted. Yes, important to make an informed decision on college, but balance that with what is missed by prioritizing college visit above these other experiences. So right now your kid has it down to two choices, as long as you can fit in both visits - they will have enough information to make a decision by the deadline. Unless there is a big advantage with housing, it doesn’t matter if they decide April 1 or May 1.  Next, people think Michigan decisions will come out next Friday - they will know if they are in and there will be accepted student days dates available for the RD kids. At that point they like Michigan more than one of the other options, one visit gets dropped and replaced by a Michigan visit. [/quote]
