I'm new at this college search stuff! We'll be heading out to the NW to visit 4 schools over spring break, and I have 2 questions:

- should we be scheduling interviews if our D is just a junior? The schools we're visiting are far from home, and this will probably be our only visit to the campus prior to application. I know some colleges will do interviews here (Minnesota) rather than on campus, but I don't know if that is true across the board for small schools.

- is the fact that we arranged a visit through their website enough to register with them that we are serious about their school, we've been there, etc - or should we be seeking personal contact with the admissions counselor assigned to our state at this point?

Thanks for your input!
