I am very interested in doing an overnight visit but I was wondering when the best time to do it would be. It would cost me $350 to go in plane tickets cost. It is my understanding that visiting the college gives you an admission edge. Is this true? I would be there for three days and two nights. If I go first semester, then I’ll miss three days of school but, it might be the boost to get me into the school. If I visit second semester, it would be Apr 1. While I wouldnt miss any school, I would have to make my travel arrangements before I knew whether or not I was accepted and if I wasnt, it would be a severe waste of money.

So should I go first or second semester?
Also, I am already scheduled for an interview next month and there is an info session next month. I really really want to go to Rice though. If I visited, could I speak with the admissions people and try to get to know them?
