Hi,

I finished my R2 applications. I was not able to visit the schools because of my work as well as various personal reasons. I do want to get to know the school better.

However, should I try to hurry up and visit the school ASAP? Is there value in doing so before I hear back from them?

Thanks.

Hi ayashlaha,

We do recommend that you make a school visit, although it is not urgent.

A visit is certainly not necessary and most schools will tell you that it has no impact on their decision. However, if it is financially feasible and fits into your schedule, I always recommend a visit. The visit can help you decide where to apply. Walking across a campus, sitting in on a class, and interacting with students can greatly influence your decisions. This type of insight is incredibly valuable and should not be under-rated.


Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
