They may not track it but no school is going to think you’re stupid for showing interest in them. It just might be a waste of your time.

Wrong. Dean J explicitly says sending materials they didn’t ask for and emailing individual UVA reps slows the process down and shows you can’t follow instructions.

Plenty of ways to show interest without uselessly harassing overbusy admissions reps.

You really don’t get it. If the school wants interest, show it. If they don’t, don’t. This isn’t a game where your job is to find a secret code. Seriously, give it a rest.

Very odd perspective. Big picture, why is your kid applying to schools they don’t care enough about to watch a 10 min video and read what the admissions office is emailing about, or visit if local? I’m not talking about more than that, but even for safety schools, I want my kid to choose schools they would be happy attending. How will they know that with no interest in figuring that out, even if late in the game?

Way too late. If it matters at a school, your kids regular decision application has already received a score for demonstrated interest.

The end date for demonstrated interest was the deadline for the application.

Now, if there’s been some meaningful interaction with a professor or some new research or something new your kid is published. You can send an update to the portal or to the admissions officer and then show how your kid has interacted with the university after achieving that milestone?

Do a search- there's an instagram guy that tells you which schools appreciate a LOCI vs those who don't.

The decision hasn’t come out yet
