[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 am in the same situation as you!  My DC has to decide among Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford.  He has no hooks and yet achieved such stellar acceptances.  Yet he can’t make up his mind!  East coast or West coast?  Urban or suburban?  Techie or Medicine oriented or undergraduate focused with world famous professors teaching Freshman classes?  He wants to visit all three, meet students he interacted with on his first visit, hopefully meet with some professors if possible.  He will stay one day at each place.  When he makes his final decision and informs the school, I don’t even know whether he will send in the acceptance from home with us recording the momentous decision.  I feel like, after his 12th grade, the path to his future is splitting into three and each path will lead him through unique but different experiences and life’s journey.  I am panicked if the final choice he will make will lead to happiness and fulfillment for him or one of the other two paths he would have to discard would have been a better one in the long run!  We are in the same boat in having sons with great choices and worrying whether they will make the right choice!  Shaky fingers crossed and waiting with trepidation for his final decision![/quote]
