[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I would say don't waste time visiting schools that don't use "showing interest" as a criteria for admission. Save that for when your kid is admitted, then visit for selection. When my kids applied to schools, the admissions were all over the place--didn't get into safeties, did get into reaches, that sort of thing. They picked schools based on what they wanted to study, location, etc. Some were large, some were small. Then when they were admitted, the list was, of course, much smaller than the list they applied to. Went to those schools and picked one. This is especially good advice, IMO, if your kids are like mine and pick schools all over the place--CO, CA, Midwest, New England, and nothing local (except for an in-state safety) or in the South.[/quote]
