Hi Experts,
I've been preparing for the GMAT and plan to give it in the next couple months. While I was researching some of my target schools, I found that most schools that I am interested in don't have school visits available after April. Since I don't have a score in hand, I am not comfortable with the idea of visiting schools, but I believe school visits are an important part of the essays and interviews. I am interested in applying to Yale, Tuck, Darden, Fuqua, Ross, Wharton, and Sloan in R1. I can take a break from the GMAT and go visit some of these schools ONLY if the school visits would definitely provide an edge in applications/interviews. I've heard that for Tuck, Darden, and Fuqua school visits are a must if you live in US, while Yale, Wharton, Ross, and Sloan can still be managed without the visits.
Could you please advise on how do I decide which schools I should definitely visit and which ones I can skip? Or should I keep focusing on getting the GMAT out of the way? My only fear is that if I don't visit before April, I won't have a chance to visit before R1 and that might affect my applications/interviews. I live in the west coast, so a trip to some of these schools would require time and energy.
Thank you very much!

You can do both, right? Visit once around now, get a sense of the final placements, sit in a class. Will help you narrow your choices.
After you have your scores, visit the shortlisted schools again in September. Get a better sense..
Despite the time and energy involved for visits from West Coast, think of the returns you get through getting to the right school

Don't let the lack of an official GMAT score prevent you from doing research and visiting these schools. I would def recommend visiting now in case you are unable to prior to R1. You have enough time to both prepare for the GMAT and sneak away for a few days to visit the schools. Good luck...just make sure to keep those GMAT books handy on your flights to campus
