Should I visit BSchools in the US? I live in South America

Maybe consider visiting after you get invited to interview, so you know you’re semi in the door.

There are several advantages to a campus visit: It allows you to form an impression intimately and directly with the school and may assist you in reaching a decision about the suitability of the specific school to your personality and goals. It’s an excellent opportunity to assess the character of the students and the atmosphere at the university, to learn more about the world of top MBA programs and future employment opportunities, and to ascertain whether you “connect” to the place and feel “at home”. In addition, you get the chance make a stronger impression about your interest in the school – the visit itself indicates motivation and interest in the school, and the experiences you gain can be used later (in essays or interviews) to strengthen this impression.

Hi Gianluigi19! Listen-- if ever there was a year that MBA programs understand why you could not visit-- this is the year! With all the craziness of Covid19-- I would not beat yourself up if you can't go. Most MBA programs only have active visit programs with students until April-- and with all the airline and world travel craziness-- there might not be enough time to get in a visit this year. One good thing about Kellogg is that they are on the quarter system so if things do settle down you will be able to have a campus visit seeing students even in May or potentially June. And they always have some students in residence as the 1 YR and MMM students are there in the summer anyway. For HBS, Wharton and Booth, you may have to rely on the very excellent ambassador pages that schools provide-- there are excellent ways to get in touch with students even from afar. For example you can reach out to one of the Wharton MBA Ambassadors from this link: https://mba.wharton.upenn.edu/admissions-fellows/#t=All

Booth Ambassadors: https://apply.chicagobooth.edu/portal/studentvolunteer
HBS student clubs: https://www.hbs.edu/environment/mba-exp ... ities.aspx
Kellogg link to webinars: https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/pr ... inars.aspx

You really can do a lot from afar-- and the schools may actually thank you for it! I am sure no one is too excited about having lots of visitors this month-- I would use this time to really think about your reasons for MBA and then evaluate the programs based on how they meet your needs.
