Wow, a very narrow window in which to visit, interview and submit the essays for EA!

I think you can do the interview after you submit your essays and application. So, you could always visit earlier without the campus visit program just to get a feel for the campus, area, and school building, submit your app, and then do an alumni interview in your home city (or, if you had the time and money, could do two visits to get in both the informal school visit prior to writing essays and then the class visit/interview after submitting).
And one doesn't necessarily need to visit prior to applying EA, it's just my uninformed opinion that it's helpful to see the area and campus first, especially if you're applying for something where you'd have to withdraw all your other apps if you were accepted. I know with undergrad there were two schools I thought for sure I'd want to attend (coincidentally, both have great business schools too!) and I visited them and realized I absolutely hated the area and campus. While the academic programs and everything else were great, I disliked the area/campus enough that I didn't even want to apply and surely was glad that I wasn't bound to attending. I'm probably just picky about that kind of stuff though.

No, it's a very informed opinion! Apart from just getting a feel to see whether you like it, I believe some consideration is given whether a prospect visited the school. Very hard to to reference the campus, class visit and conversations with students in an essay without actually visiting
Ha ha...But for those in EA round who can't visit twice, this might be a good option. I will buy the minute it's updated and post my review. The plan would be to visit once during that 4 day window to interview and update the essays.
