Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I am finishing up my round 2 applications and am starting to worry that my lack of "hands-on" research will hurt my chances of admission.
I now realize it is common knowledge that it is a good idea to visit schools, contact current students, attend info sessions in your area, etc. I started the process late and completely underestimated this.
1) Is anybody familiar with how much it will harm your application if you do none of these things for a particular school?
2) If this does have a negative effect, how much can you mitigate the harm after you send in your application? ie visiting the school prior to an interview

I wouldn't worry about what you haven't done so far. Make personal connections with the programs from here on. Seek out local contacts if you can't get to campuses. Participant in online chats whether facilitated by schools directly or hosted by websites like Accepted.com. Contact school ambassadors on this site was well. Use available resources for discovering more about your programs as well as their fit for you.

Thanks for the advice.
Now, if I contact student ambassadors, view online chats, etc - should I go out of my way to inform the adcoms of my new research to let them know that I am actually committed to the schools?
Lastly, I realize worrying about this now isn't productive, but can showing a lack of research and commitment to the school hurt an otherwise solid application?
