[quote=Anonymous]As usual, the counselor is wrong (they're wrong about many things). Visits are not the only way to demonstrate interest. Essays are the best way to demonstrate interest, because colleges understand a lot of families can't travel easily, unless the college in question is right in your backyard. My kid from MD applied to W&M a few minutes before the RD deadline and was accepted. He did not visit, but he did say exactly why he liked W&M. He ended up going elsewhere. There are also some universities that select based on academics only, like McGill and most non-US universities. They state on their website what students need in terms of coursework, grades and testing. If you're above that threshold, those are safeties. No need to demonstrated interest. [/quote]
