Both are great points. I think visiting and falling in love with a couple of highly rejective schools made it that much harder on my daughter when she wasn’t accepted there. If I had to re-do I would hold off on a visit until after acceptance. There’s plenty that can be learned about a school online and through virtual information sessions without having to step foot on campus. If your daughter wants to get a feel for a particular type of campus (big vs small, urban vs rural, etc.) see if you can visit a similar type of campus nearby - not necessarily the school(s) she’s applying to.
