DD2 is a good test taker, in the IB program at our school, and has excellent grades as a sophomore. We are doing a college tour next month, and she has chosen some high profile schools. I'm not thrilled at the number of reaches, but here's her plan, which I am willing to go with. She is also looking for schools that would have a good art program (she's a classical painter), but is likely going to be a science major. And yes, she understands that many of these schools are crap shoots, and financially we are willing to fund them if she were to get in. Marist is on the list as her only safety/match at the moment
Fly to Albany from So Cal - rent a car
Visit Williams - stay in Williamstown
Visit Marist - stay in Poughkeepsie or Milton
Visit Vassar - stay in New Haven
Visit Yale - stay in Provincetown
Visit Brown - stay in Provincetown and work way up with sister from Boston toward Logan
Leave from Logan after a couple of days.
I LOVED my college tour with D1, and I want to make sure we have fun. Any suggestions for restaurants/fun detours/hotels etc? Our plan is to not make non-refundable hotel reservations in case she changes her list midway through like D1. For example, if Williams is too small, may abandon Marist and Vassar and spend more time visiting Tufts and Brandeis. This will be her first official tour except for visiting MIT, which she hated. She has toured BU when her sister attended.
Thank you!!
