Demonstrated interest refers to the actions a student takes to show a college or university that they are interested in attending. This can include attending information sessions, visiting the campus, reaching out to admissions officers with questions, and applying earlydecision or early action.
As you construct your college list, check to see if each college tracks demonstrated interest. If they do, make a list of the colleges that track interest and pay particular attention to your interaction with them during the admissions process. Sign up for campustours and information sessions.
Another great way to get on their digital radar is to sign up for virtual information sessions, campustours, and webinars. Check out regional collegefairs and make absolutely sure to attend college information sessions when they’re offered at your high school (even if it means missing out on a study hall or occasional class).
Read on to see who applied ED II to three, yes three schools; who banned their embarrassing father from campustours; and who waited until April 30 to make a decision. But then I learned that all three had earlydecision II , and Wash U notified 1/15, Emory notified 2/1, and Vanderbilt notified 2/15.
