Blog Archive Mission Admission Visit Target B-Schools and Behave! We always encourage MBA candidates to visit their target business schools, because  doing so can make a positive impression on the admissions committee, gives the candidate an opportunity to personalize  his/her  application (essays and interviews in particularâ€"depending on the time of year of the visit)  and may even help  applicants select their schools. But remember, when you visit campuses for interviews or just to experience the atmosphere at your target schools,  you should  always be on your best behavior. Although the receptionist in the Admissions Office is not a “spy,” and your tour guides main concern is not to inform the admissions committee of your actions or comments, both of these individuals will likely feel compelled to report any bad behavior to the admissions committee. We spoke with one former receptionist (now an admission committee member) at a top-ten school, who said that if she encountered rudeness from a visiting candidate, she would make note of it and  send a message about the incident to  the Admissions Director, who would subsequently remove the candidate from consideration for admission. Most candidates are on their best behavior anyway, but we nevertheless  offer this important reminder.
