I'm an an 08 applicant and I'm wondering when everybody visited campus. Spring before your Fall app, or during the Fall? Did you visit each campus more than once? (interview visit + another separate visit)
I feel kind of dumb having not visited during the Spring, as there is little time to visit in the Fall before apps are due for 1st round. I will definitely visit each campus during interviews, but should I have gone once already before that?
Thanks!

I intended to visit in November (before R2 apps). But I had to postpone my holidays so ended up visiting mid March. It was quite a gamble since I bought my ticket (and made reservations) before I had any admit in hand, but it turned out fine: got my 1st admit call one day before travelling, my 2nd one on the airport while waiting for my flight back and the last one about 2 days after arriving home. The only drawbacks were that I visited one of the schools during spring break and, of course, that my visits may have not counted towards my admit decisions (nor could I use material from the visits in essays nor interviews).

I did all my visits pre-application, with the exception of my backups. I found campus visits INVALUABLE in getting the right information from students - getting a pulse for schools, etc. It was very very helpful for writing about the school. Its hard to sound convincingly passionate about something when you havent even visited.. Talking about your visit and the people you met in an essay sounds much much more powerful in my mind than just talking about what you read on the website.
I personally suggest visits - and TALK TALK TALK to students - if you can afford em.
There's another benefit - if you get waitlisted - at which point yield management comes into play double time - you can at least write a letter about how much you love the school and sound convincing - if you've never been, it wont be especially meaningful.
