College Discussion - View Single Post - Will not visiting a campus lower chance of acceptance?

I am applying SCEA to Stanford this fall, and I haven't visited the campus; my parents have been there, and I've taken the online tours and everything, but we haven't had a chance to fly out to California. I will be gone (mostly for sports) every weekend from now until November, so I thought I would just visit if I got accepted...

My parents seem to think that if we don't see the school now, it will lower my chances of getting in because I won't be "demonstrating enough interest". However, it seems like I demonstrate a lot of interest by applying SCEA.

Does anyone have any input or statistically significant data regarding admissions and campus visits?
