While starting the GMAT test, applicants are expected to pick five schools to send the GMAT scores. However, no one is stopping applicants from changing their target B-School. It is true that you have to pay $50 to send the scores to each additional school. It is little costly but do not be too rigid with your plans.

Suit-up. This is basically a mini-interview; so dress for one. Just like in an interview, refrain from chomping on the Bubblelicious.
Get your bearings. When you arrive, take a few minutes to review the map and schedule. Use your scouting report to plan the school presentations you want to attend.
Pleased to meet you. Greet each rep with a smile, a firm handshake and a positive attitude. Psychologists have proven that people who smile are better liked than those who don’t. Make eye contact immediately during the introduction.
1. In retrospect. Take time to reflect on your experience—did you accomplish your goals? If not, why not? What would you do differently next time? What might you undertake to improve your skills? Write all of this down to help prepare for next time or help make you a better b-school candidate.
Eyes on the prize. Make concrete connections between the value the tour represents and your personal and professional goals. Outline several goals that you are committed to and keep them in mind throughout this process.
Who RSVP’d? Review the agenda to see what schools will be in attendance. Plan your schedule, be selective and strategize your time.
Google it. Research the schools that might be of interest to you. If you spend a little time getting some background, then you can ask focused and specific questions. Showing a genuine interest in a program will impress representatives.
