Some schools (Tuck) seem to see prospective students who visit on campus positively, while others (HBS) see a campus visit neutral (no impact on your application).
How does Yale SOM perceive someone who takes time to visit the school? As I am international, I'm especially interested views for this particular group. If I visit the campus, would it work as an advantage (other than that I know more about the school, obviously) on my application, providing an extra "push"?

almostfamous,
Visiting campus, either Tuck or HBS, has no relevance to your admission. It's the information that you gather and feelings you develop about a school during your campus visit which makes all the difference. If you did not visit Tuck but demonstrated in your essays that you understand Tuck's culture and you have strong "fit" there, then it will reflect positively on your application. On the other hand, if you visited campus but could not draw any anecdote from your visit about your potential "fit" there, then it will harm your chances of admission much more.
Why does a school emphasize on a particular aspect needs some understanding. But again, this is just my frame of reference and people have different inferences. Hope this helps!
BTW...YSOM likes quirks. I read on a current student's blog. From what I understand good grades, good GMAT, strong ECs, outstanding WE won't be enough to get into YSOM. They admit people who think totally "out-of-the-box"!

Dude, thanks for this tip! That place is cracking, great decor, excellent cigar selection and I love fine single malts. NH townies seem like cool people too.
So, the campus tour was amazing. *2* class visits, long lunch Q&A, long admissions Q&A, LONG coffee session with a 2nd year, and because I went on a Thursday, SOM happy hour (cheerfully titled "Closing Bell") AND a Morgan Stanley recruiting session (which was also amazing)! I highly recommend the campus visit to everyone who has Yale near the top of their list. For me, it has confirmed YSOM as my #1 pick by far.
