First, use the Search function for "demonstrated interest", you will get lots of threads, including this informative (though long) one:

Demonstrated Interest: Or What Colleges Really Want You to Show Them Love?

Then go to this thread to see how different schools weight demonstrated interest.

Do understand that there are more ways to show interest in a school than to visit and take a tour. And yes, sometimes touring a school will help a student decide whether to apply or to attend. But, CC is a skewed sample, most students don't see their future college until they set foot on it in the fall to attend.
