I'm trying to decide if I should visit schools in person or just stick to virtual events. Travel is so pricey, and I’d have to be super selective about which campuses I see. Do campus visitations at this stage make any kind of difference?

Some schools value it more than others. It definitely gets tracked and could push you over the edge but is not necessary

I got into the 2 schools I visited and didn't get into any schools I didn't visit. Not that it was the only reason, but maybe pick a couple to visit

visiting is def the way to go if you can swing it. visited 3/6 of my schools, and almost didn’t apply to one bc of rep but fell in love when i went to visit and my dream school was awful so you never know how things’ll shake out. can also say that places like tuck/ ross generally keep track of that (again personal experience, take a grain of salt). like ross will ask what events you attended etc. some schools want their matriculation numbers up. also i will say that i was also trying to go to a school located in a place id stay postgrad, so it was important for me to visit these cities.

also not sure which stage you’re in— it helped me finalize my lists by visiting but you can also choose to visit after you hear back, every school has an admitted students day. def visit somewhere before you commit

How is everyone planning their family vacations? Specially looking for people with kids.

This feels like a lot, or is everyone spending this much?
