Dear faculty,
As visit days for admitted students approach, I am curious to hear your perspectives on making the most of faculty-student conversations. Other threads -- and my correspondence with one program in particular -- have suggested that students may have the opportunity to have short, one-on-one conversations with specific faculty members during these visits.
I am genuinely interested in the research of many of the professors I hope to meet and could imagine spending the whole time talking about their work. However, this time is also an incredibly valuable opportunity to gather information about the program and gauge potential fit. 
I would love to hear your advice about how to approach these conversations. If you have examples of particularly fruitful conversations with prospective students, such anecdotes would be very welcome as well.
Thank you in advance!
