Hi everyone,
I was wondering if ppl visit med schools before they apply (like undergrad schools).

It would depend on how many you're applying to, how far away they are, and how much $$ you have! I think it's a good idea to check out a couple med schools and med centers if you've never been to them (if your undergrad doesn't have one) so you have a basis to critique what you see later on and figure out if it's right for you. I certainly wouldn't advise flying all over the country to your top 30 schools (that's how many I applied to!) because a) no time, b) no money and c) you get to see the schools if and when you interview.

Most people don't since you get to see the school when you interview. MOst schools require on campus interviews.
