<p>Definitely don’t worry about visiting being a factor in admission to Carleton. A campus visit to Carleton is for the applicant’s benefit to help decide whether the school is a good fit. </p>
<p>Schools where a campus visit matters from the school’s perspective are those that take into account the level of the applicant’s interest in the school when making admissions decisions. Carleton does not. </p>
<p>However, it does ask ‘why Carleton’ in its supp. Your S needs to put some thought into that answer. </p>
<p>An off-campus interview can be a factor in the admissions decision. Your S should request one.</p>
