Only after you get your accepts. You know, not counting chickens before they're hatched?

I made a list of the things that mattered to me, like cost, location, curriculum, special programs.

Make a running list of notes for each school - both facts (e.g., the ones listed above) as well as general impressions. It doesn't need to be a novel, maybe just a few short notes or sentences describing the overall gestalt of the school. I used MDApplicants for this purpose, but you could easily do it on your phone or anywhere else.

Personally I don't think there's much value in this kind of thing, but some people seem to find reassurance in being able to review notes when they start thinking about a decision that may be a few months after they visited the school.
