12:25 am melissarichards: RT @collegevisit: Twitter chat w/parents of teens who just accepted offers of admission - the where and why tonight-Wed 5/5 @ 9pm ET #CampusChat
12:33 am EileenPaulin: RT @SuzanneShaffer: Meet the parents: our guests on #campuschat: http://bit.ly/dfJKSv (via @collegevisit) tonight at 9PM EST
12:36 am collegevisit: 25 minutes til #campuschat starts! #campuschat
1:18 am Tom_Field: @collegevisit She applied to 4. I thought more would be better; but at least it was less work for us! #campuschat
1:18 am rgeller: Daughter applied to 6, would have been more but got accepted erly admission #campuschat
1:18 am EileenPaulin: Applied to 14, kind of embarrassing. Would do less if we planned better. #campuschat
1:19 am SuzanneShaffer: @melissarichards i completely agree. #campuschat
1:19 am collegevisit: RT @Tom_Field: @collegevisit I honestly think it was the chatter among her school friends more than anything #campuschat
1:20 am collegevisit: There's no magic number in terms of how many apps to send. Different for each teen. #campuschat
1:20 am SuzanneShaffer: @rgeller why did she decide to do early admission? #campuschat
1:20 am EileenPaulin: @rgeller @Tom_Field I envy you. It was a lot of work. Thought I deserved a big vacation when done! #campuschat
1:20 am melissarichards: peer influence is a big deal, at least for my stepson #campuschat
1:21 am Tom_Field: I'm sitting here with a margueritta... and that's cuz we only dealt with 4 applications! (Nah, actually it's Cinco de Mayo...) #campuschat
1:21 am collegevisit: As parents, did you spend a lot of time on the schools' web sites? #campuschat
1:21 am SuzanneShaffer: @Tom_Field Most kids usually apply to 7-10, 3 reach, 4 good matches, and 3 safe schools #campuschat
1:21 am rgeller: @BU_tweets was her first choice, she thought it would improve her odds although I think she underestimated her record #campuschat
1:21 am EileenPaulin: Agree with Tom about chatter among friends being a big influence. Daughter at an all-girl school, very competitive-in good way #campuschat
1:22 am collegevisit: RT @SuzanneShaffer: @Tom_Field Most kids usually apply to 7-10, 3 reach, 4 good matches, and 3 safe schools #campuschat
1:22 am butwait: @melissarichards Can you say a little more about peer influence? #campuschat
1:22 am Tom_Field: @collegevisit Surprisingly, no. Though some had such cool virtual tours... I wanted to apply myself... #campuschat
1:27 am melissarichards: RT @collegevisit: How did you keep track of the college visits? Esp. @EileenPaulin with 20 visits! #campuschat
1:32 am melissarichards: For how many of you did the FIRST choice end up being the FINAL choice? #campuschat
1:45 am collegevisit: How did you/your teen use social media before or after getting in? #campuschat
1:45 am rgeller: @SuzanneShaffer Combination #campuschat
1:45 am SuzanneShaffer: @SkiManilow How many colleges have you visited? and how have the tours been so far? #campuschat
1:58 am butwait: @Tom_Field Perspective. The one thing the students DON'T have (& are unlikely to realize they could use some of, in any case)... #campuschat
1:59 am SkiManilow: Yes, major, avg SAT scores, selectivity, out-of-state pop, etc #Campuschat
1:59 am SuzanneShaffer: Don't u think perspective comes w/ experience? RT @butwait: @Tom_Field Perspective. The one thing the students DONT have #campuschat
2:00 am collegevisit: Will it bother you if your teen changes major? #campuschat
2:00 am SkiManilow: Thanks so much everyone! I found this chat to be very informative. An hour very well spent. #Campuschat
2:01 am SuzanneShaffer: RT @SkiManilow: Thanks so much everyone! I found this chat to be very informative. An hour very well spent. #campuschat
2:01 am butwait: @SuzanneShaffer Yep. Perspective comes fr experience. Truly big picture, 10,000 foot views are hard to come by at age 17. #campuschat
2:01 am rgeller: @SkiManilow Agreed, thanks, have really enjoyed this #campuschat
