<p>debater09 and Mr. Bobo, as someone else in this thread notes, you don’t have to fly over for interviews. </p>

<p>and Cambridge <a href=“http://www.cam.ac.uk%5B/url%5D”>http://www.cam.ac.uk</a> will offer you interviews in a North American city, New York at present.</p>
<p>Others may well require a telephone interview- mine was at 5 am by phone, very early, but at least I got to wear pyjamas.</p>
<p>That said, if you want to visit, contact various departments and speak informally to an admissions tutor, you can do that. Give them plenty of notice, make sure it’s in the fall and in term time (end September- mid December). Fares are very cheap after mid October. Could be interesting and can’t hurt your app, but it’s not necessary and not doing it won’t prejudice your chances of admission.</p>
