School Visit: Admissions Officer

by jsche229 » Sun Nov 20, 2016 4:29 pm
Good Evening-

I am visiting two schools in the next few weeks and am working on setting up meetings with students and professors. I was wondering if it was appropriate to email one of the admissions directors and ask to introduce myself if they have time as unfortunately an information session is not part of the program. Thanks for the advice.

Yes, this is appropriate and also a good way to let the adcom know you are visiting the school (shows commitment and dedication).

How can a campus visit help you?
1. You may put yourself on the radar of the admissions committee. Schedule a meeting with an admissions representative, so you have a chance to impress them and possibly stay in touch throughout the process.
2. You gain the opportunity to gather vital information that you can put to use in writing in your application essays.
3. You'll get the chance to meet students and professors, and truly experience the atmosphere on campus.
4. In addition, a campus visit is a fantastic way to expand your network. Whether or not you end up attending this school, you'll have a chance to meet potential future colleagues and friends.
