<p>Well, going through the process this year, I found CC an invaluable aid. I don’t know that it radically changed the way we did things, but it reminded me in particular that the “black box of admissions” we talk about goes on and becomes the “black box of the class of 2015.” You just can’t know your kid’s classmates and their families prior to enrollment, so you’re trusting the school that you see makes its assessments most clearly in line with what you value–if possible. In the end, revisits were HUGE for us, although tempered by all visits to the particular campuses. DC was pretty certain about what the right fit was, and we saw no reason to disagree.</p>
