[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]you realize you can visit colleges after your kid is accepted. its cheaper and kid is feeling good and really tries to visualize themselves there [/quote]

B[b]ut if you want to apply early decision, you need to know your preferences. You can't do that if you haven't seen the campus.[/quote][/b]

Not true.  If you applying VA in-state, you know where to apply.  If you want aerospace engineering, you know where to apply.  If you want tech, you know where to apply.  If you want Econ you know where to apply.  If you want Computer Sci, you know where to apply.  Apply EA and SCEA and see where you get in, then tour.  That's what we did.  It really cuts down on the anxiety and the cost of the tours.[/quote]

Lots of schools don't have EA options. Even in Virginia. For kids applying to selective schools ED can make a real difference in admissions (while EA makes very little difference). Silly to thrown away an ED chit if it might have made a difference at a first choice school.[/quote]
