@timetoshine, soon (if not already), you may be able to see when admitted student days are by scrolling through the schools’ calendars in April. We did this just to get a sense of what scheduling might look like. Based on our experience, you should definitely try to get to these if possible – they make a point of assembling the people your kid will want to meet, from profs to coaches to nutritionists for those with special dietary needs! And the interaction with current students is very informative. MUCH more will be made available to you than in a regular visit for prospective students. (for example, some schools that don’t show dorms on their normal tours invite admitted students to stay overnight.) DS found a few schools were less appealing than he’d thought they’d be when he was originally touring while others (including the one @intparent referenced) really climbed. Questions that you may not have wanted to ask before acceptance are now fair game.
Presumably, the info that was shared during the kind of tour you’d get if you just signed up on your own is the info you used to apply. Now it’s a matter of picking the place you’ll call home.
