Help with college list for visits and applications

I agree with those that say that summer visits are not that helpful for the student, but certainly demonstrate interest. If you can have her narrow down or rank the list, you may want to try to visit her top choices during the school year. It is really hard to do between HS academics and ECs but gives a better view of what the college are like.

If you are going to CA in spring of Jr year, can fly into SFO and out of LAX to fit in the Claremont colleges (and have a great vacation in between!).

It also may make sense to not push to visit so many colleges this coming summer but wait until next year when she has figured out (or at least is leaning in a direction) whether she wants a performance major or to simply continue to play. Good luck!
