What if I am unable to visit Wharton before applying, does that count against me?

No, it doesn't count against you at Wharton. All the schools like for candidates to visit in advance, but Wharton doesn't penalize those who cannot. However, you *should* try to visit if you can -- you'll learn so much that you can use in your application, and you'll be able to know for sure if it's the right place for you or not. (We talk about this quite a bit on our blog: https://essaysnark.blocked/2010/06/ ... chool.html )

Lots of people visit when they get the interview invite - that's totally fine too.

But the common metaphor that's used is, bschool is a big investment. It's sort of like buying a car. Would you really buy one without ever having seen it in person (much less driven it)?

Not everyone can swing the visit of course so don't worry if you cannot.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
