Ten Tips to Maximize the Value of Your MBA Campus Visits

April 3, 2024

Donna Bauman

Here’s one bright spot in MBA admissions: all the M7 programs are now offering on-campus visits. Therefore, be sure to review the campus visit options at  HBS ,  Stanford ,  Wharton , Northwestern Kellogg ,  Chicago Booth ,  Columbia , and MIT Sloan —as well as other top programs—to determine the best-fit MBA program for you. Although you should also learn about an MBA program through online events, there’s still no better way to get to know a business school—and for a school to get to know you—than to schedule a campus visit. 

But before you start booking flights around the country, here are ten tips to make the most of your MBA campus visits:

1. Start the conversation right.  

The school visit is an opportunity for you to get to know the school, but it is also an opportunity for the school to get to know you. Think of it as a conversation. Show up having done your research. Understand what the school values and how you connect with those values. Go there only if you have an honest interest in the school. The admissions committee does not give you credit just for showing up; a visit must be meaningful to both you and them. 

2. Speak to the right people. 

Yes, everyone wants to speak to the dean of admissions, but that appointment is hard to get. Most schools have an admissions contact for each region of the world and the United States, and this is the person who can make or break your admissions decision. Figure out who manages admissions decisions for your location! This individual will be the one with the most influence in reviewing your candidacy.

3. Work on your plan.

Your scheduled meetings with a campus contact will last 30 minutes or less. Therefore, be sure to set clear goals for these meetings. Review the school website in detail so that you can ask more in-depth questions. For example, after reading about Northwestern Kellogg’s MMM program, you could ask more specific questions about the Business Innovation Lab, which is a capstone experience in that program.

4. Talk to students.  

The only way to really get to know an MBA program beyond the marketing material is by talking to actual students and hearing what they like and do not like about the school. Are these things that you will like or not like? Good people to connect with are students who share your background or lead the clubs you would like to join. Track down their contact information (most MBA programs now list contact information for student ambassadors and club leaders on their website) and see if you can schedule time to grab coffee and learn about their experiences and how you might fit in.

5. Plan your schedule.  

Timing your visit correctly can help you maximize your experience at the school. What days are classes in session? You do not want to show up when students are taking exams or are away on break. Are there dedicated events or weekends that might interest you? Perhaps you could visit when a student club is hosting a conference that aligns with your goals. Many MBA programs offer weekends geared toward women, underrepresented minorities, veterans, members of the LGBTQIA+ communities, and others.

6. Use all your senses .

When visiting a campus, use all five of your senses to get a feel for the program. Observe how students interact with each other. Do these seem like “your people”? Are there inviting spaces for students to gather and collaborate? Sit in the chairs! Are they comfortable? Could you imagine yourself working on projects here? How did you feel during the class you visited? Are the teaching methods aligned with your learning style?

7. Go beyond the classroom .

Make connections through affinity clubs such as the Veteran’s Club or the Women’s Business Association, where you will find students with shared interests. You are not just going to school in this new place; you are going to live there too. Investigate food options both on and off campus. If a program says that social impact and sustainability matter and yet you see no evidence of having local or sustainably sourced food in the cafeteria, that might give you an idea of how deeply the school values this commitment. You may find a great local farmer’s market or a vibrant restaurant scene that will make your time in the program more enjoyable. Likewise, consider the extracurricular and sports options if these are important to you. If you love skiing, you may enjoy a program like Dartmouth Tuck, which offers easy options to ski on the weekends. 

8. Make it fun.  

Spending a quick couple of hours on campus rarely provides you with the insight you need to decide if you really want to live in a place for two years. Consider making your MBA program visits something of a vacation: stay overnight, enjoy the nightlife in and around campus, tour around a bit. This is a great opportunity to visit Boston ( HBS  and ), Chicago ( Chicago Booth ), San Francisco ( and  Berkeley Haas ), Los Angeles ( UCLA  and  USC Marshall ), or North Carolina ( UNC Kenan-Flagler  and  Duke Fuqua ).

9. Consider the needs of your significant other .

Reach out to Partners’ Club programs so that you and your significant other can find out about life at this school for students with partners and families. Consider employment options for your significant other if this is important to them. If your significant other is a banker, for example, they may find more options in a big city like New York or Boston rather than a more rural location. (However, with increased remote work options, this may not be as big of a factor as it used to be.)

10. Follow up .

Thank the students and staff who have spent their time sharing information with you. Look for ways to build these relationships by providing any additional information related to your conversations that could be useful to the people you met.

The spring semester is an excellent time to plan these trips, as all the students will have experienced at least one semester in the program. With Round 1 deadlines in September or even earlier, there will not be time to make a campus visit in the fall before Round 1 deadlines.

MBA Campus Visit Tips

  • September 1, 2020

How To Do School Visits Right

Last week a client asked the very common question “When should I visit campus?” and we thought it’d be a great time to share my top MBA campus visit tips. The most valuable time to visit a school is:

  • On your own (i.e., not during interviews)
  • Before you apply
  • While school is in session

Table of Contents

1. but why visit.

First, an unsolicited visit shows the strongest commitment and greatest interest in the school. More than anything, the ad com wants to know that you want to go to  their  school and one way to show your interest is by taking the time to visit.

Second, visiting before you apply while students are still on campus, you’ll get a much more realistic sense of the community and campus life – an important factor in deciding if this school is the place you want to spend the next two years of your life.

And finally, if you decide you want to apply, you’ll have extra fodder for your personal statement and interviews. As you will inevitably talk about school culture and student life, now you’ll be able to add rich personal details, making your essays intimate and unique.

2. How to prepare for your MBA campus visit

Before you visit campus, you’ll want to read up on the school. Here are some resources to help your research:

  • Check out this article by my teammate,  Charli , about creative ways to  connect with your top MBA schools
  • Download Angela’s  MBA Decision framework  for a sense of the priorities you might want to focus on in your primary research
  • Make sure to review the MBA Campus visit dress code for your target schools (hint: HBS campus visits are business formal, Stanford MBA campus visits are business casual)

Other ways you can learn about MBA schools: peruse student and campus blogs, follow the MBA programs on social media, read through the list of student clubs and see which ones pique your interest.

You don’t need to know everything about the school before you visit, but you should know enough that you feel comfortable. For example, you’ll probably want to know if the curriculum is fixed or flexible, if you have to choose a specialty, or if you can cross-register for courses.

You’ll also want to know a bit about the culture –where students hang out and if they live on campus, so you can make sure you explore the important areas! As you’re doing your research, write down any questions that you might want to ask students, the adcom, or career services during your visit.

After you’ve done your research, you’ll want to schedule your visit. Most schools will ask you to register ahead of time, but check out the Admissions website as this varies by school. 

As you go through your day on campus, be sure to take ample notes!!! You will want to reference them later when you’re choosing schools and writing your essays.

Bonus recommendation : Buy a school t-shirt and take a selfie of yourself in front of the main campus building. This might come in handy if the school asks for a  creative essay with multimedia aspects !

3. Get to Know the MBA Campus

Some schools have official programs to facilitate campus and class visits. If so, definitely sign up for that! Here are some links to top schools’ campus visit programs to get you started:

  • Harvard  Business School Class visit program  is a full day of amazing insights into campus life
  • Check out  Stanford  MBA Campus Visit  events or their  Campus Tours program  and maybe even do a  Stanford campus virtual  tour before you get there
  • Visit the gorgeous Harper Center on your  Chicago Booth  Campus visit
  • Check out  Wharton  Campus visit program
  • Schedule your  Kellogg  campus visit  to check out their brand new facilities or attend one of  Kellogg’s preview days
  • The MIT MBA Campus visit  options give you several ways to get to know the campus
  • The  Columbia  MBA  class visit program  offers a ton of  admissions events on campus
  • Get over to Berkeley for your  Berkeley Haas  campus visitation
  • Plan to spend the whole day on your  Yale MBA  campus visit
  • Choose your spot in the  NYU Stern  campus visit  program or meet them at one of  their live or online events

But even if you’re doing a self-guided tour, here are a some self-guided mba campus visit tips to help you make the most of your time:

  • Get to know the area – take an  Uber  or bike around the campus , through the neighboring community, before you even step foot on it. 
  • Go to the  local hot spots  where MBAs go for snacks, lunch, drinks – including the campus cafeterias and local coffee shops. If you’re visiting HBS, make sure you stop by  Zinneken’s  in Harvard Square for the most amazing Belgian waffles!! I personally read so many case studies from that counter.
  • Find out  where students hang out and study , then walk through these areas and see how it feels.
  • Find out  where recruiting happens . Will you have to leave campus for internship interviews? Remember recruiting happens in the dead of winter. Will you have to walk across icy sidewalks in your slippery interview shoes or can you just walk down the hall to your interview room?
  • Find out  where students sit in class . Are seats assigned? Do people sit in the same seat each time? Do students stay in the same classroom for all their classes? (FYI, at Harvard the answer to all three of these is yes!) What’s class attendance like?
  • Where do most people live? On-campus? Off? Try to visit a  dorm or walk the street where students rent apartments .
  • What kinds of extras are there?  How’s the gym ? Are there tennis courts? Is there a chapel or meditation space on campus to check out? How’s the library? Does anyone use it?

Even asking a subset of these questions will give you a really good sense of the school and the community. So pick your favorites!

4. Sit in on an MBA classs

Sitting in on a class is one of the best ways to get a feel for a school. You’ll learn about the teaching method, the level of academic engagement, and how students and professors engage with each other. It’s hands down the best way to get to start distinguishing schools from one another, so try to make the time to do it! 

Things you’ll want to pay attention during your class visit:

  • How’s the quality of the professor?
  • How advanced and challenging does the material seem? (you might find big differences across schools on this one!)
  • How engaged are students with the material?
  • How do they treat each other in the class discussion? Could you see yourself participating here and having a good time?
  • Will this class style challenge you, in a good way? In a bad way?
  • How would you feel about learning in this environment? Does it feel like a match for how you learn best?

Don’t forget, most schools likely have rules about conduct during class visits, so don’t forget to look them up before you go. For example, most schools will ask that you just observe and not speak up, so make sure you know before you accidentally break the rules!

5. Talk to members of the MBA program’s administration

To be best prepared for your visit, you’ll want to prepare questions to ask during informational interviews with students, and different questions to ask the admissions committee and members of the career services teams.

We often get asked, “what’s a good question for the admissions committee?” Though there’s no universal answer to that question, a good question is one that…

  • Is personal to you, i.e., something you genuinely care about knowing the answer to
  • Can't be answered by a quick look at the school's website, and
  • Demonstrates your knowledge of and interest in the school.

For example, a good question might be something like “I’m really interested in women’s equality in business. I know HBS recently celebrated 50 years of women at HBS and I’m wondering what else the school is doing on a more regular basis to support the equality of women in the classroom?”

I recommend avoiding questions about scandals or negative press affecting the school. Combative or accusatory questions won't endear you to community members.

Your goals during these conversations should be to show your knowledge of and interest in the school and make a connection. So ask intelligent and respectful questions. Ideally, the ad com member will remember you after the conversation and put a star on your folder! But worst case, even if you botch these conversations, it’s still not going to ruin your chances of getting in, so try not to stress about it too much!

One final way to prepare is to practice your personal introduction. Not an elevator pitch (we are not a fan of those!!) So check out our article about  introducing yourself in a much better way than an elevator pitch  to help you with this.

6. Talk to current students at your favorite MBA programs

While you’re on campus, don’t miss the opportunity to talk to current students! It can be easy to get caught up with the campus tour, the class visit, and conversing with the admissions committee, but a great way to get to know a school is to chat with current students. 

You can either do this casually – when the class visit ends, start talking to the student next to you – or more formally – by setting up coffee chats ahead of time. Before your visit, email the co-chairs of 1-2 student clubs you’re interested in and see if they’re free to meet with you before or after your campus tour. Make sure you go in to those meetings with some prepared questions!

Want some help tracking down campus club cochairs? I’ve got you covered. Here are the links student clubs at your favorite MBA programs. Click through the lists to find current co-chairs for most clubs. 

  • Harvard Business School Student Clubs
  • Stanford Student Clubs
  • Chicago Booth Student Clubs
  • Wharton Student Clubs
  • Kellogg MBA Student Clubs
  • MIT Sloan Student Clubs
  • Columbia MBA Student Clubs
  • Haas Student Clubs
  • Yale SOM Student Clubs
  • NYU Stern Student Clubs

Good questions to ask students include:

  • Anything about their experience
  • How they chose the school
  • What social events their club hosts
  • What recruiting events their club hosts
  • What else are they involved in on campus
  • How supportive is the career services office

After your meetings, be sure to send thank you notes and any follow-up questions to people you met with. If you really liked anyone you met, try to stay in touch with them.

You could send them a relevant article based on their interests or send them a restaurant recommendation for the city they’re headed to next! You never know, you may even end up referencing their names in your Personal Statement!

7. Final MBA campus visit tips

Don’t forget that these school visits are for you! It can be really helpful to get to know the school, to identify why you want to go there and write about that in your essays, and to show the admissions committee how interested you are in the school.

More than anything, we recommend that you view this process as building a relationship with a community that you will soon be part of. It’s as if you were considering a job offer – you’d want intimate details about what it’s like to work there and you’d want to have some friends on the inside!

However, we know school visits can be time-consuming and expensive. So, if you can’t manage to visit all the schools you’re applying to, try to attend an event hosted by the school in your city, meet alumni for coffee, and attend any webinars the school hosts. Those can be alternative, low-cost ways to get to know the schools if you can’t manage to visit.

One last tip:  if you live near a school you’re applying to, and you don’t visit, then you might as well not apply. I say this for two reasons. One – without even realizing it, it probably means you don’t actually want to go to that school. Two – if the school doesn’t think you want to go there, they won’t even give you the chance to reject them. So save yourself the trouble! Or, just visit the school! 😉

Oh, and when you’re on campus make sure you check in with the Admissions Office so they know you were there!! <- that’s really important!!

Happy MBA Campus visiting!!

Let’s have a conversation!

MIT economics to launch new predoctoral fellowship program

Press contact :.

Previous image Next image

The MIT Department of Economics is launching a new program this year that will pair faculty with predoctoral fellows.

“MIT economics right now is historically strong,” says Jon Gruber, the Ford Professor of Economics and department head of MIT economics. “To remain in that position involves having the resources to stay on the cutting edge of the research frontier, and that requires the use of predocs.”

The nature of economic research has changed enormously, adds Gruber, due to factors like the use of large datasets, innovations in experiment design, and comprehensive data analysis, all of which require the support of predocs. This new research model empowers economists to address national and global challenges in profound and much more effective ways.

The new predoc program is made possible by an ongoing major fundraising initiative in the department. 

Gruber gave credit to Glenn Ellison, the Gregory K. Palm (1970) Professor of Economics and former department chair, for working closely with Roger Altman, MIT Corporation member and the former head and current member of the visiting committee, to craft a vision for the future of the department that will ultimately include up to 24 predocs that would work for economics faculty at MIT. 

“It’s a great vision. They put a lot of work into it,” Gruber says.

With significant support from the Altman Family Fund, Gruber explains, the predoc program will be able to ramp up, providing predocs to the department’s junior faculty. He expects six predocs to start in the department this fall.

“We’ll have a wide range of junior faculty who will be using these predocs for a bunch of really interesting and important questions that are very data- and research-intensive,” Gruber says.

Tobias Salz, the Castle Krob Career Development Associate Professor of Economics, is one of the faculty members already benefiting from a pilot of the new program. He’s working on a large project on the search engine market.

“I am working with a predoctoral research fellow who has been instrumental in many parts of the project, including the design of an experiment and data analysis,” says Salz. “Initially, I was only able to hire him for one year, but with the new funding I am able to extend his contract. The predoctoral program has therefore helped ensure continuity on this project, which has made a big difference.”

Nina Roussille, assistant professor of economics, says her work will greatly benefit from collaborating with a predoc. Several of her projects either require the analysis of large, administrative datasets or the implementation of large-scale experiments.

“This kind of work will be greatly enhanced and streamlined with the help of a predoc to construct, clean, and analyze the data, as well as to set up the experiments and study their effects. This will free up some of my time to participate in more projects and allow me to focus my efforts on high-yield tasks, such as data analysis and paper writing,” says Roussille.

Roussille adds that she’s excited about the opportunity to mentor a young economist on the path to a PhD.

“They’ll greatly benefit from the vibrant research environment of the MIT economics department,” she said.

Gruber sees the program as mutually beneficial for both the predocs and the faculty.

“The advantage for the predoc is they get research experience and they get to know a faculty member,” adds Gruber. “The advantage for the faculty is they get to work with someone who wants to excel and make an impression with the person they research for.”

Beyond establishing the predoc program, this current fundraising initiative prioritizes building resources for faculty research in the Department of Economics. In addition to the gift from the Altman Family Fund to establish the predoctoral fellowship program, this fundraising initiative has secured several other significant contributions, including:  

  • the creation of the Daniel (1972) and Gail Rubinfeld Professorship Fund, through the support of Dan Rubinfeld, PhD ’72;
  • the Thapanee Sirivadhanabhakdi Techajareonvikul (1999) Professorship Fund, established by economics undergraduate alumna and her husband, Aswin Techajareonvkul MBA ’02;
  • another endowed professorship in the department, through the support of an anonymous donor;
  • the creation of the Locher Economics Fund, which will provide discretionary resources to support faculty research for the department, through the support of Kurt ’88, SM ’89, and Anne Stark Locher; and
  • a gift to create the Dr. James A. Berkovec (1977) Memorial Faculty Research Fund in Economics, established by Ben Golub, ’78, SM ’82, PhD ’84.

To date, almost $30 million has been secured for these purposes, and efforts are ongoing.

Take a Virtual Tour

Take a virtual tour of MIT Sloan and the greater MIT Campus. Explore our community, and learn more about the vibrant Kendall Square neighborhood.

MIT Sloan prides itself on welcoming students and faculty with a wide range of backgrounds, experience, and interests. The community is marked by its passion for solving problems and tackling big challenges, its respect for varied viewpoints, and a deep entrepreneurial spirit.

Management education has been part of MIT since 1914, when the Institute first offered a course in engineering administration. Our ties to MIT run deep: they range from shared research centers like the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship  to dual degree programs like our Leaders for Global Operations and joint degree programs such as System Design and Management . Students have access to a wealth of MIT resources and often work closely with peers at the Institute to bring new ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace.

MIT Sloan is in the heart of Cambridge’s thriving Kendall Square neighborhood. The school is surrounded by biotech companies, tech giants, startups, and research labs, as well as a wide array of restaurants, outdoor activities, arts, music, and culture. And with nearly 60 colleges and universities in the Boston area, creative, intellectual energy is a key part of the fabric of the city.
