Visiting Med Schools as a prospective student

[pbehzad]

I was just wondering if med schools give regular tours to prospective students? I will be a junior in the fall and I'll be taking the MCAT next April. Do med schools have tours for prospective students similar to undergraduate tours? Thanks.

No. After I took the mcat (after my sophomore year), I had an idea of what types of schools I was competitive at, and my friend and I went around and visited schools during spring break. Most were pretty friendly and let us join the interview day tour, except at UVA, where we pretty much got chased out of the building. I felt like I got a good idea of the places I was applying and didn't bother applying to some that I otherwise would have.
