How to Live Out of A Carry On for a Week Long Business Trip?

I'm taking a week long trip to the east coast to check out business schools in a couple cities. I'm going to be doing a ton of traveling, and ideally will be able to fit everything into a carry on suitcase and messenger bag. I'll also be interviewing at one school and attending a professional networking event.

What should I bring? I was going to bring one suit, one blazer/pants, and just wear those the whole time along with daily shirts and ties, two pairs of shoes with belts, daily socks/underwear obviously and an overcoat. How does this sound? This is my first real business trip longer than two days where I have to look professional every single day.

What would you bring?
