Waitlisted- Does a school visit help? Forum

[mrwc18]

I was waitlisted at two schools in my area (NY) and I'm curious if I should officially visit to school to increase my chances of getting an admit?

it's certainly not going to hurt your chances

If it's not expensive to get there it certainly can't hurt...

I haven't been WL'd, but before a decision was made, I visited a certain school and met with some of the adcomms. They explicitly said the following: "We will begin making decisions during the 3rd week in January, and just so you know, you visiting us in person is definitely going to give you...brownie points, so to speak."
