Hey Kid,
Have lined up a bunch of class visits.........but have no clue on how to prepare for them - can you please give some tips. As in are you referring to having general information about the school and appliaction process or did you prepare for the particular "class" you attended........by finding out abt the prof. an reading up some papers sort of thing.
hey sangoman,
i didn't really prepare for the class visit, per se. I know GMATT73 wrote something quick about shotgun class visits.
But I suggest you get to know the program solid from their website. It is amazing how much wealth of information there actually is. As for the classes, I just sat in the back and listened. The first class was boring. The second class was awesome. Some schools welcome participation, some do not allow (columbia).
I think the best part of a school visit is not what you get out of it, but the school knowing that you visited. It doesn't hurt to physically see where you might spend the next two years of your life.
