<p>Just wanted to add that we (mancation tour) also visited other schools in other regions of the country as a family. So not all colleges were visited that way.</p>
<p>There are some friends of my kids who would not have been invited, too.</p>
<p>Re: similar interests - S & his 2 friends are scarily similar. Play the same musical instrument, play the same sport, have pretty much the exact ECs. Our HS has a night at the beginning of the year where parents visit each classroom in an abbreviated schedule. S & one friend had 7 of their 8 classes together. Different foreign languages was the only class not in common.</p>
