<p>Once you've applied to all of your colleges and are just waiting to hear back on April 1st, how would one ever have enough time to plan the various visits for accepted students days in we find out if we get in only a week or so before? I was very confused about this point. Also, do most people visit schools they've already visited once they get in or is that against the point?</p>
<p>You'll have until May 1 to decide, which is about a month for you to make a decision. If you are fortunate enough to have a lot of options, you would look at finance, location, fit of those schools, narrow the list to a handful then maybe visit them again before you make your final decision.</p>
<p>I was wondering that too. Pretty much all of my choices are well within traveling distances fortunately, but a few outliers will be rough to schedule as AP exams come up and all the sports come down to finals etc. and new ones start</p>
<p>I'm not going to do the accepted students day for Seattle U because I want to see the university on a regular day, not when they're pulling all the stops to sell the university to me. Also, I get to go to the symphony and listen to some Russian pieces :), which is something I won't be able to do on the accepted students day. Oh and you can also explore the surrounding area more if it's just a standard tour rather than an all day event.</p>
<p>@Giggitus: Aside from the sales pitch, accepted students day is a chance to scope out potential classmates and roommates. Why not go a day or two before that day to see the campus and take in the symphony, then stay for accepted students day? Just a thought. :)</p>
<p>That's a pretty good idea, I wish I thought of that earlier :(. I can't go twice though because of the cost of hotels.</p>
<p>Just go earlier. I looked at 5 schools on spring break last year, and I'll be going to two schools on mid-winter break this year. I could go to a few more on spring break this year but I'm pretty sure I already have my schools ranked.</p>
