<p>As a parent to my oldest who is just going through this process I have questions on how to approach visiting schools. </p>
<p>How many schools did your senior visit-before senior year-during senior year? Also how many schools did they visit before applying and how many schools did they apply to without visiting?</p>
<p>So far my junior S has visited 5 schools. We had no idea how he would score on the SAT and ACT, thus our approach to visiting schools was very conservative. Of the 5 schools, he liked 3, one was okay and he wasn't wild about the 5th. All of the schools are match/safetys. In almost all of our visits, we hated the schools we thought that we would like and liked the schools we thought that we would hate.</p>
<p>Now my S would like to visit more schools, esp. ones that would be more of a match/reach. Of course all the schools that he has mentioned are nowhere near each other. </p>
<p>I am just curious how to approach visiting more schools.</p>
