I had to cancel a campus visit last minute because my boss wouldn’t approve the time off, and now I’m paranoid the school will think I’m not genuinely interested. I’ve done the webinars, emailed alumni, and even had a 1:1 with a current student, but it’s hard to know if that carries the same weight as showing up in person. I don’t want to be dinged for not “demonstrating interest,” especially when I’ve done everything short of booking a flight. Has anyone successfully shown strong interest without setting foot on campus?

Just send an email to admissions (which will probably go into your file). Explain what happened and note that you are not sure that you will be able to make it to campus before you apply (in R2?) but have truly enjoyed your interactions with members of their community.

Though I would think you would have gotten approval for the time off before scheduling a visit.

Some schools specifically mention they don’t count campus visits into their app evaluation (I think Wharton is one)

I have 23.5 in hand so I asked for 26 which she said out of budget. Then I asked 23.5 fixed atleast. Contd… in comments
