Hi everyone! 

I have been accepted to a program with a decision deadline of March 1st. At the same time, I'm still waiting for more decisions to be made. I was invited to this university's visit day, however it falls two weeks after my decision deadline. I really believe the program is a good fit for me, but I want to make the best informed decision when it comes to selecting a program, and would've liked to have the input from visit day to help me pick. Is it a good idea to reach out to have the deadline extended? Would it even be extended that long? Could reaching out for an extension be negative in any way? If no extension is offered, what other ways should I go about to get more information on the program? Thanks in advance!

That seems very weird to me. In most cases, the point of the visit day is to help students choose a program for themselves. 
I think you should definitely reach out to them -- doesn't hurt to try. 
If you don't mind sharing, which program is that? Because most funded programs stick to the deadline of 15th April, ie, you have until then to make a final decision. 

if nothing works out, reach out to the college/some faculty member -- ask them to connect you to other faculty from your area or just students and alumni, if its a master's program. Try to find out as much as you can from current and past students of the program.
