If it’s really impossible to visit schools, then you REALLY need to visit you top two or three choices fire acceptances come around. It is impossible to judge whether or not you like a school without being with. Visiting schools made me fall in love with schools that I thought I would hate and that my parents dragged me to, and made me change my mind about schools that were my favorites- they look good on paper, but actually being at the place that might be your home for four years is essential. That being said, I doubt that not interviewing on campus will matter to most schools. I’m assuming that you live pretty far from the schools you’re applying to, however. For example, if you lived in, say, Maine, and you couldn’t bother to come don to Connecticut for a visit, that might not look like you’re committed to a school.
