Question about interview day? In the email it says "Upon signing up for an interview, you will be automatically registered for a full day of campus visit activities, beginning at 9:30 AM. To review the day's activities, please click here to view our campus visit web page."
I have already done the full campus visit. Im pretty sure it won't, but will it be held against me if I opt out given that I've done the tour, class visit, lunch with student? Nothing wrong with doing it twice as I am extremely enthusiastic about the school, but just dont want to waste their time and resources or take up a class spot that could go to another prospective.
Congrats Dbalks!
I'm in a similar situation, having visited in the spring. My view on this: I really want to take advantage of visiting classes again, particularly the core courses, as well as talk to students again in a more in-depth way than just gathering information about the school when I wasn't really sure what to ask. I agree with VN that visiting for the full day sends a strong signal to the interviewer and adcom. You don't want to give them any reason to think you aren't interested in the school, and even if you've visited before, it could be construed as lack of interest as opposed to not wanting to waste their time, even if you do it with the best of intentions.
