how do we know what's a safety, match, reach, and how many schools should one apply t

<p>My S will be working at a residential camp all summer, which cuts out a lot of good visit / program opportunities. And we’ll probably use April break to visit family in Toronto (and visit UofT and Waterloo). So that’s why I felt like we needed to get a series of visits in over February break and sort of get on top of this. I don’t know if/when we’d get a chance to visit any other schools. We’ll run up to UVM on an in-service day sometime. Otherwise if he’s applying EA, he will be applying to a lot of places sight unseen. But of course we can visit those he’s accepted to and seriously considering after we know where he’s accepted and what kind of finaid offers he gets.</p>
