We did the similar thing in June, 2008. Starting from South to North:
Saturday: Take two SAT II in the morning. Both got 800. Drive from south for about 1,000 miles starting in the afternoon. Check in hotel/motel in New Brunswick, NJ (a few miles from train station) Sunday afternoon;
Monday: Drive a few miles to train station. Park for about $20. Take the train for off peak round trip for about $17 (off peak time: after 10 am and after 7 pm? Peak time is a few dollars more). Take subway to Columbia for afternoon session. Return to the same hotel;
Tuesday: Princeton for morning session. Park is free. Drive to hotel close to Harvard;
Wednesday: Early morning, drive to Harvard and buy a parking ticket for $10 (will be $11 this year. Paid public parking will be more than $30-40). Check with Harvard website for address. Harvard parking ticket office opens at 8 am. You can also buy online and go directly to parking deck and walk from parking deck to admission office for morning session. Take subway to MIT for afternoon session. Pick up the car at Harvard and drive to hotel close to Yale;
Thursday: Drive to Yale morning session. Park on Elm Street (with meters). Drive back south to hotel close to Penn;
Friday: Sleep late. Drive to Penn and park in public deck for <$20. Have lunch on campus. Walk to admission office for afternoon session (1-3 pm). Walk to Huntsman building for Wharton tour (start from 3:30pm?). Start driving back to home;
Saturday: Arrive home on Saturday and relax;
Sunday: Register for Governor’s School at 11 am.
Attend: Yale.
We did not plan to visit but decided in the last minute. The boy was busy in the summer for lab volunteering and Governor’s School. The time was so tight and the only week was between SAT test and Governor’s School. He had to take SAT on Saturday morning and register for Governor’s School next Sunday at 11 am. If you visit in August I believe some schools will have tour on Saturday. We started from colleges in the south (Columbia and Princeton), move to the colleges to the most North (Harvard/MIT) and back to the one in the most south (Penn) so it will be easier to drive home in south.
Hope this helps and good luck.
