As of now, these are the colleges on my short list, arranged by category, and then in order within each category.

IVY - REACH

1.) Dartmouth
2.) Cornell (tie)
U Penn (tie)
Brown (tie)

MORE SELECTIVE - MATCH

1.) UVA
2.) Carnegie Mellon U

LIKELY

1.) U of Pittsburgh

NOT SURE ABOUT ANYMORE

Notre Dame (I’m Catholic, but a Catholic school…)
U Mich (Too big/far away)
Penn State (WAY too big)

I plan to major in Finance or Economics, depending on the school. Anyway, my question is, when I visit colleges this summer, should I schedule an admissions interview along with the college visit/tour/info session? (This question applies only to schools that still have on-campus interviews the summer before senior year. Dartmouth, for one, does not do such interviews anymore.) What if I end up not even applying to a school at which I interview (due to a possible ED acceptance at another school, per se)? Any and all advice is appreciated! Thank you!
