But how does one choose between two or more schools? If you cannot determine a definitive \u201cwinner\u201d based on specific academic or professional criteria, you may now need to make a campus visit or, for some,\u00a0<em>another<\/em>\u00a0campus visit. We strongly advise those of you who have not yet had a chance to visit your target school(s) that you get to know the program(s) better before deciding where to invest two years and $100K or more in your graduate education. However, even if you have already visited your target campuses, this may be a good time for a second, more focused trip.<\/p>\n<p>Many candidates go on marathon tours of business school campuses in the fall but have only a limited window in which to get to know each program they visit. After the MBA admissions committees have defined your choices and shifted the decision power back to you, you have the opportunity to really spend some time familiarizing yourself with your target schools and completing diligence that may not have been possible before. For example, as a nervous prospective student, you may not have truly pushed current students to define a program\u2019s weaknesses, or you may not have felt that delving deeply into the recruiting situation on campus was appropriate during your initial visit. Similarly, you may not have experienced the social environment on campus, preferring to maintain a strictly professional profile. Although attending \u201cwelcome weekends\u201d will allow you to meet and mingle with your potential future classmates, visiting campuses\u00a0<em>now<\/em>\u2014while classes are in session and the schools are operating as they will next year\u2014will provide valuable insight that will facilitate one of the most important choices of your life.<\/p>\n<p><em>Can't make another campus visit?
