@cypresspat our S19 played year round sports and had a number of other ECs that added up to over 20 hours per week and he had a very rigorous class schedule. He did apply to 14 schools, all of which required involved applications. It can be done. I think you may be over-inflating your S’s chances so just be careful. You say he got a 1510 with a 790 math I believe. That’s a 720 EW which is good but not great. Not sure where he stands in relation to his classmates but just be aware that there are many, many high performing students out there in the world.
Sorry @gardenstategal. Had to comment. Lol.
We are going to U Wisconsin because I never brought S19 to a big school and I want D21 to be super sure she doesn’t want one. Our niece lives in Madison so we will visit her as well. All other visits waiting until spring and then fall of senior year. D21 has a pretty good list going and many schools are clumped together geographically so we should be able to see four of them over spring break. Might hit one or two not in that area next fall. We did find that visiting during the summers (especially for smaller schools) didn’t tell us very much.
