Is Demonstrated Interest Important at Public Flagships?

@JHS

I wouldn’t mind going at all, and if the school was an hour or two a way, I’d force the issue. But 5 hours each way is going to require us to stay overnight, and ds really wants to wait and see what schools come back with an affordable financial package before going on tours. He feels it is pointless to tour if you aren’t sure it’s affordable, but did say he is willing to go if it will help his scholarship chances. It isn’t that he doesn’t like the school or doesn’t think it is worth a visit, he just has a really practical approach to all of it.
