I agree with what others are saying. Unfortunately, your itineraries are just too ambitious. If you are limited to 3 days, I would suggest that you make Boston your hub. That way you could visit H, MIT but also take the time to visit the next tier of schools. If you are considering BC then I would strongly recommend also visiting Brandeis, Tufts and BU. It is certainly possible to see 2 schools in a day if you are staying in Boston, but you do need to take your time in getting a feel for a place. I think it takes a little more than just going on a tour to get a feel for the “vibe” of a campus. It’s really valuable to find some “real”, non-tour guide students to chat with and get some more honest answers to questions you may have. The tour guides, while helpful, will put a positive spin on everything. If you are talking about a summer tour, then it will take a little more time to find students to talk to.
