My daughter will probably make the National Merit cutoff. I would like her to apply to at least one school with large scholarships for NM. In order to decide which one(s) to apply to, she'll need to visit.
I know that summer is not the best time to visit since there won't be many students on campus. But my daughter hates to miss school, and each visit will be a multi-day undertaking due to travel time. So we are thinking of visiting this summer.
Is this a good plan? If we visit in the summer, will there be much focus on the Honors Colleges? Will they "roll out the red carpet" for a potential NM student when the NM decisions haven't been made yet? I want her to have a really good experience at the visit, so that she is excited about these schools. (Obvious parental agenda: save money.)
Also, I see on the school websites that Oklahoma and Kentucky will let you schedule a June visit. Alabama does not. Does Alabama not do summer visits, or do they just not schedule that far out?
Note: She is touring Arizona State U and U of Arizona later this month.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
