Letting a school know that you are in the area

[rivers]

How appropriate or common is it for an applicant to notify an admissions office of school A that he'll be in the geographical region for another interview at school B, and ask if he's being considered for an interview at school A so that he might schedule it around the same date as the interview at school B?

Has anyone done that and how successful have you been?

Thanks!

I just tried it the other day with Northwestern and Loyola because I was interviewing in the area. It didn't work out for either school. Good luck!
