sixfoottall: I agree that my D is REALLY lucky to be able to visit colleges, and I tell her that all the time! But in her case, living not all that far away, the admins can see that it is possible for her to visit, and I think it would count against her not to visit. In your case, they know that visiting is completely unrealistic, so it is not important for you (from the admissions standpoint). Some downsides of visiting colleges: it sets students up for disappointment when they don’t get in and it distracts from doing a good job on applications! So don’t feel bad! Geography is a great major, both versatile and practical, and it is much neglected in the US. I notice the Canadian schools all have great departments. I do hope you get into Middlebury!

Modadun - great idea about the 51 main and I’m sure D will love to go the library and do some investigation on what the students are like. Thanks for the packing advice too!
