Have you done a campus visit? Sometimes a school just “feels” right – or wrong.

Contact Admissions, without mentioning your connection. Let them know you’d like to visit, including a tour of the campus, sitting in on a class or two, an overnight in a dorm with a current student, and an informal chat with one of the Wharton professors. Visit the bookstore, the student union, have lunch in the dining hall, check out the bulletin boards. Spend a little time strolling around. Can you see yourself happily there for 4 years?

I add my congratulations for your finely-developed sense of ethics. The business world – and the world of prospective college students – needs more people like you. Good luck!
