So I'm applying in R2 and I'm wondering how to play the campus visit since I haven't been yet. One option is to go to one of the class visits/campus tours later this month and then presumably do a local interview if invited and if local is an option. Other option is to not visit now and only go to campus if asked for an interview.
My concern is that if I get out there in a few weeks (soonest I could probably get out would be for the 1/30 visit), they may have already taken a look at the application and decided no-go for me and then my visit would be futile. Does anybody know how campus visits play into the process after you've submitted the application? Assuming the further I get from the application submission date the lesser a campus visit would help me.
Thoughts on which strategy would work better or how the visit plays into the admissions process?

I don't officially know the answer to your question, but I can tell you my experience. I had never visited the campus before my interview at Darden. Even during my interview day, my campus visit was much too short as I had to catch a train. In the end, as long as you can answer "Why Darden?" then you'll be fine. (and Darden is excellent at allowing you to research and really get a feel for the school outside of a formal campus visit).

Well, R2 app submitted for me as well. I'm not really satisfied with my responses, and worry that the essay won't format properly (why no preview PDF, seriously?). After stressing about multiple essays on other apps, it is nice to fret about overly short essays just for a change of pace, I guess...
Best of luck to everybody else still awaiting responses. May the Adcom be merciful.
