1. Do I wear a suit to the tour. I know itll be hot, but I heard that anytime a school sees you, it should be in a suit.

2. What are some good questions to ask during a tour?

1. No. Don't wear jeans/shorts and a t-shirt either. Business casual (slacks/skirt and a button-down/blouse) should be fine.
2. Things you don't know but couldn't easily look up on their website. I'm sure others will chime in with specifics.

If you're with students, ask

Why did you come here?
Do you like it?
Strengths
Weaknesses?
Faculty helpful?


To anyone else:

Type of curriculum?
Required lecture attendance?
How/where are rotations?
Match list available?
What's the first time COMLEX pass rate?
How many graduates go into Primary Care vs specialties?
Strength of OMM/OMT Dept?
Research opportunities?
Where do most students live?
Lectures recorded?

I found the information I received first-hand to be much more valuable.
