You and Pilot are going to need to explain this one. So Program X is interested enough to invite Applicant Y to an interview. Yet that applicant all of the sudden becomes desperate if they're interested enough to want to come back to see a "day in the life", show their spouse/significant other around the town, meet with a realtor to look at potential buying opportunities, discuss job opportunities for the spouse/significant other? I completely disagree.
I don't believe an applicant should move up the rank list for taking a second look, but unless they come across like a complete tool during the second look I can't fathom them moving down. There are many reasons why I can imagine people take second looks, the least of which should be to hang out with a resident for half a day.
