Colleges do not EXPECT kids to visit if they are not within a reasonable distance. It isn’t reasonable to assume that a student will find a way to visit a college, even if that college considers demonstrated interest. Kids may not have access to transport, parents might not have the time or money to get a kid to a school, etc… Kids who can’t visit can demonstrate interest in other ways.
D was accepted to Kenyon and Whitman, no visits. Kenyon paid for her flights to visit after acceptance.
S was accepted to U Denver, Indiana U, and offered a transfer option to USC in So Cal, no visits.
It’s not uncommon or unusual to get acceptance without visiting.
