Here's an excerpt from a memo that I send to my students:
"Although it's helpful to visit colleges when classes are in session and students are on campus, you can always visit during the summer and during breaks (and then return when classes are in session if you really are interested in a school), but you can't redo your grades."
So for all of you who have made your classes your priority this year, good for you! Even if you're just finishing your junior year, there's still plenty of time to schedule visits to college campuses. Admissions offices are open during the summer. To get the most out of a visit, give yourself about two to two and a half hours on each campus so that you have plenty of time to attend an information session and take a student-led tour.
