I hope you are not suggesting that that is what I’m saying simply because I disagree that spring of senior year is the best time to visit colleges. You did what worked for your family & I agree that it might be the best approach for other families or in other situations. That was not the best choice for mine. I put our experience out there because, for us, it was a mistake to follow the advice to just wait until we got admissions decisions. I really appreciate your data point—between yield protect and the huge differences between departments (i’ll view this as visiting departments versus visiting “the university” and also how much LACs differ from each other, this is something to think about. Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need them to spend a week in MA in December to know snow and cold isn’t going to be a deciding factor before shelling out any money on applications or worse, sending them there and then dealing with the transfer back. ? I could see at least one of mine completely panicking at the thought of wearing shoes and gloves. Yes but skiing ;). Send me yours for the east coast trip and i’ll send you mine for the west coast one ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
