<p>@intparent. I do understand what you are saying about last minute trips. Fortunately, my son’s SCEA school funded his trip for accepted student days. This was very helpful financially. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that he really loves it. On paper, it seems like the perfect match for him. There must be kids out there on the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum who attend colleges they have never visited. Given the low acceptance rates at the top-tiered schools, it didn’t make fiscal sense for us to visit before being accepted. Waiting to visit was actually the advice given to us by the Admissions Officer when I explained our financial situation and asked about visiting prior to acceptance.</p>
