[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are good times to do college visits? These posts make me realize we really need to visit a bunch of schools on the early side. DS thinks he know what he is looking for (big state flagship with great sports (as a fan) and great academics) but it sounds like so many people were so wrong about what they thought they wanted. I think it is just that so far my kids' only exposure to colleges in any way has been college sports. [/quote]

If it is not because of ED or REA, I see no urgent need to visit schools before receiving acceptance.  Kids can apply to many schools without visits for EA or RD.  This is why at some level I really think that ED or REA is just putting unnecessary pressure on kids and families, to find out as much information before hands and commit to that.  The Rice admission director basically said that when a kid apply ED, they know that you are committed to come, so they are trying to build a case to admit you, by focusing on the positives and giving credits of doubts on the negatives.[/quote]
