Which one comes first, chicken or egg?

The Onion strikes again.

That's silly, not to visit a single school. There's how long to make the decision upon acceptance? You don't have to visit each and every school. But a visit confirmed my son's first choice. Accepted.

I disagree. I think students need to visit schools often to even know whether to apply, and certainly shouldn't consider applying ED to a school they haven't visited.

Honestly it's humor but, like with every other onion article, there is a good point in there. Don't visit reach schools until you get in! Save the trip money and save yourself from having to console your DC if they get rejected.
