<p>It seems like Rice puts a big emphasis on the campus visit...and if I had found out about the school sooner, I could have visited. (I live in NJ)</p>
<p>However, my dad was transferred to Romania for his job during my Junior year, and now there is no way my mom, young sister and I could possibly visit a campus that is halfway across the country. </p>
<p>I did schedule an interview though -- this is more important then the visit right...?</p>
<p>Yeah, I hope its not a big deal. I really couldn't get a visit in before I applied. AND I asked for the interview late... hope thats not a big deal. o.O</p>
<p>Haha, I live in TX and there's no way I can go down all the way to Houston for a visit; I might as well be in New Jersey.</p>
<p>Yeah for Texas being the size of the entirety of New England!</p>
<p>But anyways, I have no idea how much impact it has... it technically shouldn't have any, since that would be giving disadvantage to people with lesser means, etc.</p>
