Is It Worth The Trip??

Applying to College
1

<p>I am applying to Harvard and Cornell,</p>

<p>I already had interviews with an alumnus from each school, and was wondering...</p>

<p>Would it make much of a difference to visit both of the schools to meet with an admissions officer for an interview?</p>

<p>Is this normal to do on top of the alumnus interview, and would it benefit me?</p>

<p>It would be a do-able trip, but if there's nothing to gain...</p>

<p>Any information, or opinions would help</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I think meeting with the admissions officer can only help. It shows that you have genuine interest in the school and also shows that you have a lot of initiative. Plus, it helps for them to be able to put a face to those stats and essays. So go for it.</p>

<p>Neither Cornell nor Harvard consider the level of interest shown by applicants. Before you go, make sure that an admissions officer will meet with you.</p>
