DD has been admitted to her top two choices and has a real apples-and-oranges choice ahead of her. Complicating matters, both schools have Admitted Students Days on April 12th. She’s trying to get a handle on whether attending ASDay is even the best use of her time or whether they are formatted much like the Open House events she attended last year. She would prefer staying over in a dorm, preferably with a student from her major, attending classes, and getting an idea of what campus is like during the school week, rather than attend a structured PR event. Would you share your Admitted Students Day experiences here? Did you find them helpful? What else did you do/are you doing during that all-important April before the deposit check is due to help make your choice?

Thanks in advance,
