<p>We were in the same boat - live on East Coast, flights too expensive, so my daughter did not get to visit before applying. Not a problem…Carleton understands.</p>
<p>However, she did show interest by attending an interview in NYC and a traveling LAC college presentation that Carleton was part of that was withing driving distance. Perhaps have your son check out what’s in the Chicago area and try to attend? My daughter was interviewed by an alum who drove 6 hours to come and help out - that impressed her. The “interview” was just a nice conversation and she came back with a great impression of the sort of folks that choose go to Carleton. She’s now a happy sophomore.</p>
