Is it normal to be invited to tour a school while on the waitlist?

[calcuttaho]

Just got an invitation to tour the school by the director of admissions. The invite was sent to everyone who interviewed, regardless of they were waitlisted or accepted. I would LOVE to go to this school, but I’m not sure how willing I am to tour a school that I’m not necessarily going to. The school is a 4 hour flight away, too. Are there any odds that going to this tour would help me get off the waitlist?

Showing a demonstrated interest in the school is never a bad thing, but--odds on--it will have no meaningful effect on your chances of admission. An update letter reminding the school of your continued interest would probably accoplish the same goal at a fraction of the cost. I would only go if this school means the world to you and the cost of making the trip would not be a material burden.
