Thx Linda,

Could you tell me the top 10 schools who definitely look at on-campus interview as a +ve thing and also the ones who don't care. Does Wharton like candidates coming for on-campus?


In some cases it's hard to say. Harvard says it doesn't care, and I suspect it doesn't, but others say it weighs visits heavily. Wharton says it doesn't care. Tuck and Darden definitely want applicants to visit. I suspect that the more out-of-way or rural schools will put more weight on a visit because it genuinely does show more effort to find out about the school. Pete Johnson at Haas once said that he would take note if someone in California did not take the time to visit Haas.

Again, keep in mind that even if you don't get "brownie points" in the admissions process you will acquire insight by visiting.

Good luck!
