<p>DS is visiting schools over spring break and we thought it would be great to record some initial impressions in some sort of spreadsheet. I'm a little overwhelmed re what to include. I figured we would start with the categories from the CC College Visit reports and add things like majors he might be interested in. Does anyone have any suggestions, or is there a generic spreadsheet somewhere that we could tailor to his criteria???</p>
<p>I have to admit our visits are a little more laissez faire. DD2 looks at the overall impression and decides if she would be willing to attend or not. At the end of the big midwest trip last week she had her colleges in a pecking order (and some thrown out of the mix) but no explicit criteria - just an impression. We'll see how well that works for our next set of visits. DD1 did it the same way two years ago.</p>
<p>the collegeboard website also has some good articles, tips, lists and checklists that you might want to take a look at as well, including some online college selection and organizing tools.</p>
