I highly recommend doing an overnight visit in the fall when the school is in session if at all possible. My S and I did an overnight visit in the fall and it was very helpful. He was hosted by a Rice student for an entire day in the same field he was interested in. He took a number of classes, stayed in the dorm, ate at the cafeteria, etc., all with his host. He also did an interview. The info session was done in an AO’s office with only a few applicants so there were more interactions. For Rice, demonstrating interest is important so that may help (my S never applied because of his success during the EA round, but he really liked the school and the surrounding area).
