Is this college trip a waste?

I am a huge fan of visits junior year. They get the kids focused on the process, helps them develop a good list so they know what they will need to work on over the summer for applications, essays, etc. Fall is a VERY busy time senior year and if you have to try to squeeze in visits then, it’s just one more thing to do. Then, factor in the earlier deadlines for EA applications, scholarships, etc. and there just isn’t that much time. We’ve reserved the very limited time we have this year for final visits if needed (to make final selections if they can’t decide between a couple schools).
