I faced the same issue even with going to interviews. The twins will be able to only revisit 3 schools. Yes, I need to keep my job.
@Mama Paradox - I’m just curious, are your twins hoping to go to the same school together? Or do they prefer different schools?
Same schools for now.
Agree with @skieurope If you are fortunate enough to have a revisit day option (which I hope everyone is) you really need to attend. We did not use “sick” for DS but we did pull him and say he had an emergent family commitment. Which it was. This is a huge family decision and could determine the next 4 years of your life. I’d say missing a day or two from current school in which you will no longer be involved after the spring to see a school which you may possibly be involved with for your immediate future. Trust me…those few days won’t matter too much in the grand scheme of things at home…but they could at BS. GO. GO TO REVISIT DAYS!!
Totally agree @buuzn03. We plan to go to revisit days (provided we have that option!) because we know how important they are. I also emphasize with the fact that parents need to keep their jobs. My kids’ Spring Break is the week before Easter, and we planned a trip to go away that week many months ago. I insisted on going away this year because I knew this would be the last year (at least for a while) that both kids would definitely have the same Spring Break. Revisit days weren’t something I even thought about last Summer when we booked it. But now, all the potential revisit days are the week that we return from Spring Break! So I guess I will be calling off sick for a day or two or more of the following week if we are fortunate enough to have choices! Flying and visiting tourist traps can make you sick…right?? #-o
For those concerned about maybe having to take multiple days…as a last resort (to keep your jobs, since paying for BS will also be very necessary), you may consider either having mom/Dad tag team them OR a nice aunt/uncle take a day…we weren’t of the multi-revisit day camp, but my sister had volunteered to go should DS get multiples and I was tied to the job…just an option. We are kind of putting cart ahead of the horse, but I’m a planner…so, I completely get it.
I’m not disagreeing with the divide and conquer approach that @buuzn03 espouses, but I would caution students and parents to limit revisit schools to 2-3 if you are fortunate to have multiple acceptances (BTW, for parents with older kids, this applies to accepted student days for college visits as well). Too many revisits will blend together after a while, and really, y’all should be able to winnow the number to top choices without seeing the schools again.
Re sick days, the opposite is also true. In our case, our daughter really was sick and hospitalized with acute onset viral encephalitis. One school in particular that had admitted her that she really wanted to revisit, wouldn’t extend her decision time. We asked for a one-time exception to allow her to get well and come out and see the school again after revisit, and were told “no.” No time was extended for a decision even though she was hospitalized. That school got crossed off the list pretty quickly.
