Going back to the OP:
Do you think it is necessary to visit the schools to have a higher acceptance rate?
While I recommend visits whenever/wherever it is possible, from anecdotal evidence shared here by other parents/students, it seems that it does not adversely affect candidacy if you interview off-campus.

Do most schools require you to visit at some point?
Of the schools with which I am familiar, only Thacher requires a visit for application. Honestly, a visit to Ojai pretty much makes you fall in love with the area/the school…which I’m sure explains Thacher’s incredible yield rate.
