Will not having visited hurt my chances?
Hi I'm a senior from the Boston area who is going to be applying to JHU RD. I've only really become seriously interested in the school recently, and I'm fairly certain I want to apply. However, I haven't visited campus nor do I think I'll be able to in the coming months, and I missed the regional info session. I'm fine with applying without seeing the campus, but will the admissions officers view this as me not showing a great amount of interest in the school? I feel like I have the profile to be a competitive applicant, and my school has sent kids to JHU in recent years, but I'm afraid this will count against me. May this be true, or am I being too nervous and overthinking? Thanks in advance.

^I agree. Nevertheless, it is easy for you to show interest. Ask for an alumni interview. There are tons of alumni in the Boston area.

Nope-the first time I visited campus was move-in day. (I'm from SoCal)
