Oh, also:
If you're not particularly wealthy and can't afford to travel far and wide to schools, and if the schools you're looking at are far away, colleges will understand. It only really becomes a negative if say, you live in Philadelphia or you live in Pennsylvania and colleges are wondering how interested you could be if you couldn't even take a few hours out of your day to visit them.

Again, exactly how "angry" they'll be at the above, or how "happy" they'll be if you do visit them, depends dramatically on which college we're talking about

do competitive colleges recommend visits

T26E4

The super-competitive colleges welcome visits but don't require them in terms of evaluating you as an applicant. Basically, they know that they admissions are so desired that it doesn't matter the applicant's level of "interest" so no advantage is given whatsoever. Visit if it's not too burdensome and you'll find it informative. Don't visit to give yourself a "boost".

What schools are you targeting? If you give us a list, we can comment on which ones might matter.

Find out who the admissions reps are for your area. E-mail them and ask questions that aren't answered on the web site. Ask for a contact in your planned major. Ask for a student contact. Watch YouTube videos and mention you saw something on the web that piqued your curiosity. Demonstrate that you are actively seeking out info to help you decide.

Just for reference, I was admitted to (and am going to attend) Cornell University, and did not visit.
