<p>One more thought on the visit issue: if you are lucky enough to be accepted at 5 or 6 schools you may not be able to visit all of them in the window between hearing back and having to make a decision. And you are even less likely to be able to visit them all during their pre-frosh weekends, which (for my son last year) all seemed to be held the middle 2 weekends in April. This doesn’t mean it best to “pre-visit” all the schools that you applied to, but depending on your situation it might be worth thinking about.</p>
