moleculeboy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The subject line really says it all. I think I am going to try and limit it down to three schools to visit, but that is hard because I have to take into account how well my girlfriend fits in at the schools as well. By the way I am assuming the visits are payed for by the school.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialpsych Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think there are 6 schools on my list that I'd visit if I end up getting in. Now that I have had some acceptances from my top choices, I am withdrawing my app from everywhere else. I don't understand why I should have an application in if I'm not even interested enough to visit the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_ruth Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 so far four (and I'm in at four). I will visit everywhere I am seriously considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinM Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm in at three (out of five) so far; I think I'm only going to visit two of them, because the other one isn't offering me a good enough funding package. I haven't heard about funding for the other two yet, so if they both give me even less money, I might start considering the third school again. Of the two I haven't heard from yet, the one I would be most likely to consider if I get in is only about half an hour away, so visiting would be pretty easy.

fuzzylogician Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 At least four, maybe five. I'll visit every place I'm still unsure about. I'll go even if I don't get offered funding for a visit b/c I think it's an important enough decision that I need all the information I can get.

HelloFeminists Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'll visit as many places as the departments are willing to pay for. I don't have the money to pay for my own visits. I'm completely dependent on the goodwill / desire of others to recruit me So far I'm visiting UCSB. They've accepted me and are paying for me to come visit. I haven't heard back from anyone else yet. [Also, all the places I applied are on the opposite side of the country from where I currently am.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohheygradschool Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Just 3. Maybe only 2, depending on how good the 3rd's funding offer ends up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholinguist Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 So far I'm definitely visiting two. There's one more I'd visit if I got in. Not sure about a fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miratrix Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If I get in everywhere (ha!), I'd like to visit the 3 that are far away, and only drop by the local ones on a day off if I need to talk to somebody about questions. Currently only in to one far away place and working on scheduling the visit, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I visited every program I seriously considered (2 for MA, 4 for PhD) except the program I'm currently in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc11505 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm visiting the two prgograms who have accepted me. I don't know what I'll do if I get in anywhere else, but if I didn't have complicated family logistics and the school were paying I'd visit!!!
