I know that there’s more to life than college admissions, college visits, and College Confidential, but this pandemic is seriously messing with people’s plans. The Ivies have told students not to return after spring break, and their sports playoffs have been canceled.

Again, what’s most important is to get this COVID-19 under control, but gosh, it sure throws a wrench into not only people’s plans but students’ senior year excitement (college visits, road trips for those visits, and so on).

I like @Lindagaf 's reminder because it’s one that I’ve made often. International students, who tend to come from wealthy families, do not routinely fly back and forth between their home countries and the U.S. to visit schools. I agree that because universities quickly switched to online classes for the rest of the year, they can quickly create/promote virtual tours (most schools have these already) and other events.
