Colleges that don't care about demonstrated interest?

They don't penalize for getting the application in at the last minute, but my sense is that they do if you add them to your list at the last minute.

My kid was WL at a few schools that were added late December last year. I can't find the source anymore, but I did look afterwards to see if schools have access to when they were added to the common app, and they do. Some safeties may not care, but targets/reaches might. Better to have a long list in September and not apply to all than to frantically add schools in December.


Not all high schools even use Naviance. I doubt that schools are tracking this.


It's on the Common App - colleges know when they were added to the list.

NP. Can a college see what other schools are in your Naviance list?

U of Richmond—I feel like I read somewhere (a mailer? Their website?) that they acknowledge that some students find them late in the game.

I’d still demonstrate interest now. You can do online tours and join online sessions, etc. I’m not looking up who tracks or deadlines but possible ones to look up:

UVA
GW
Wisconsin
Villanova

When are you supposed to start showing “demonstrated interest” and what does that even look like?
