Daughter's visit strategy as decisions come in?

I think that you really have to consider the impact on your daughter if you go to visit a school this close to decision time and she doesn’t get accepted. High school can be a cruel place. It is bad enough when you just are rejected. You really don’t need someone saying “Susie was so confident that she would get in that she went to go visit three weeks ago and then got rejected”. Also, the program for accepted students is much better than the normal tour. When we went to my DS’s school, he got the tour with only one other accepted student. The “normal” tour was a mob walking around campus. Also they sent us to Thea dining hall to eat and the two students went and sat in a class together.
