<p>Does visiting a college and taking a tour affect your admission? Will they see that you signed up to visit their college and will it show that you really want to attend their school?</p>
<p>any feedback?</p>
<p>depends on what school… some colleges do take note and some ask on their application if you have visited… it’s a good idea because it shows interest and it helps you to see what you like about whatever school, usually there’s a question like “Why is our school a good fit for you?”</p>
<p>What colleges are you looking at? Demonstrated interest in one way or another–whether that’s visiting, emailed your regional rep, or applying ED–is beneficial at smaller/less popular schools. Think LACs and the schools just below HYP, where yield is of the utmost importance.</p>
<p>Demonstrated interest including visiting helps at some (e.g., Emory and a number of small LAS) but for most colleges in upper ranks and essentially all public universities it means nothing. Consider the obvious: Does a school in the top 10 really need to be assured that applicants are interested in coming?</p>
<p>So it wouldn’t make a difference for schools such as Northwestern, U of Chicago, or U of Michigan?</p>
