Just wanted to hear how much value you would associate with visiting schools that you don't plan to go to. At this point I have got into my top choice school (MIT), and there is no way I am going to another school (as my wife is there). I was talking to my friend and he said I should withdraw my applications from other schools as I have already made my decision. And there is no point in wasting time of Professors/their adcomm, and I can allow spots to go to people who need them.
On the other hand, I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to meet Professors working in a similar field/around the schools to get a better idea of overall research direction, and to build contacts. Further, I've already paid the application fee, why waste it?:-) And after I decline the offer, someone off the waitlist can get in anyway. The other places I currently have offers from are UT Austin, Cornell, UIUC, and waiting to hear from CMU RI, UCB, Caltech, and Harvard.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!
