<p>I have an alumni interview this week, but I have yet to visit the school–I live twenty minutes away. I have done research and feel knowledgeable about the school, but will it hurt me that I haven’t actually seen it? Do you recommend that I rush out and see it first?</p>
<p>yea it will hurt you a tad if you didnt visit...then again the university doesnt know if you visited unless you take a campus tour and such.</p>
<p>but yea, it might hurt a little but it def wont be a determining factor</p>
<p>I just want to make sure that this doesn't happen--She asks if I visited, I tell her no, then she puts in her letter that I haven't shown much of an interest in the school. Penn is a huge reach for me, so I need everything I can get.</p>
<p>well yea, i would go to the school and look around, esp since youre only 20 minutes away</p>
<p>You're twenty minutes away. Just go visit. You don't even need to do any of that campus tour stuff if that's what's keeping you away. Just...remember something memorable and think of a specific question that shows that you were there.</p>
<p>I'm going to try to visit--I can't take myself and my parents are working. I'm more concerned with her dead on question than me not knowing about teh school. Thanks for the help.</p>
