Just wondering what the current approaches are to picking a college...it's been over 20 years since I graduated so I'm sure a lot has changed.
My son's entering his junior year in HS...he's looking at Biology/Pre-Med programs. Grades are OK (mostly As and Bs) and he's taking higher level courses (2 AP classes this year). While he's not Harvard or MIT material (neither was I), I believe he should be able to get into a decent school.
Any thoughts on state schools (in out case UMass) vs. private? Larger or smaller?
When do people usually start the campus tours? I'm thinking this fall will be the time...
