<p>I just stumbled across this and wanted to share it. A group of 29 private schools in Iowa have banded together to provide information about their schools in a single spot. Check out: Think</a> Independently</p>
<p>They are also offering a college visit week during the first week in August. Schools will even waive the application fees for students who participate. As I'm struggling to schedule college visits and co-ordinate junior visit day schedules around my child's own busy calendar and each schools varying breaks, it's quite a challenge. I don't know why more schools don't do this. It's a win-win situation. I urge admission counselors to think about working together with their colleagues to schedule opportunities for students to check out several schools in the same geographic area in a limited time period.</p>
