How to find graduate school visits?
There are a number of graduate schools I am interested in and I was wondering how I can find out if they have graduate visit days. I tried searching for "[name of school] graduate visit day", but didn't get the results I wanted. Are there specific key words I should use? Or someone I should email?
Actually, there are lots of visit days that happen before you apply, such as the Big 10 Grad Expo, UC Edge, MIT ACCESS, Georgia Tech FOCUS, etc. I know these visits exist, but that's because people have forwarded the information to me. I don't know how to actually find out about these programs on my own.

In graduate school, you generally visit the schools after you are accepted rather than before. Most programs will arrange visits for admits (and have designated days for those visits) and extend invitations for those visits only to those who were accepted for admission. The only exception I have seen is in disciplines where you visit the program as part of the admissions process for interviews.
If you feel that you must visit the graduate school before applying, you'd schedule appointments specifically with the lab/professor(s) you'd be interested in working with. But, this is pretty uncommon.
Hope this helps. Good luck!!

I see. None of the graduate schools I or my husband applied for (combined, well over 30 programs b/c I went through two fields) had those.
I would probably Google those programs, and if that doesn't work, then try the department you are interested in applying for. The graduate secretary in the department is the person you'd want to email/call.
Good luck!!

e mail the graduate assistant (the government individual who makes the grad application run easily) and ask in case you may schedule a bypass to. you may desire to additionally ask to fulfill with a pair of the grad scholars whilst you're there (my branch used to spring for the lunch for each individual, so all of us volunteered). in case you wait till you have been admitted there's a competent possibility that this device will pay on your bypass to.
