Does visiting a school give one an advantage?

Post by dempsey6 » Sun Nov 24, 2013 10:06 pm

Is it worth sticking your head into as many admissions offices as possible? Or do visits mean little for the top schools (assuming not for an interview)

How you gonna poke your head into every law school and be sincere to the people you meet?
