@NEO has he looked at the common app yet? The preview is available and he can print it out and start to fill it in… to see where he stands. Is he URM? If so, there are plenty of schools that are accepting applications for diversity fly in weekends for the fall… they will cover airfare/expenses for the weekend. He will need to send in the application, LOR and and essay/copy of his transcript. From what I understand, these programs fill up very quickly as this is a great way to visit a school when one can’t afford it on their own.

Just do a search of “fly in diversity weekends” here on CC.

He might even start his essay now seeing that school is just wrapping up! Good luck…
