I’m heading to a few schools I’m considering I’m a few days for a visit and am pretty stressed out.

I’ve been told I need to get all this information and start essays and common applications and such all over summer break but I really have no clue where to start or how to show interest.

I’ve been told it’s good to find my admissions counselor on the visit and ask questions but I’m not sure I’ll have many that aren’t already covered either on the website or by the tour. I want to convey interest but I don’t know how else I would be able to do that aside from visiting multiple times which I likely won’t have time to do.

Ive also been recommended to do interviews but I’m not sure I’ll have the time to interview with all the schools I’m interested in. I’m planning on interviewing for at least a few of the stretch schools I’m planning on applying to but I’m not sure when to do those.

I’m planning on applying early to most schools so should I be getting all of this done over summer or should I be waiting for the next school year to start?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
