[quote=Anonymous]I believe that the Common Data Set is often incorrect because (1) at most colleges, it is completed by an entirely different department, not admissions, and (2) often colleges fail to update that portion of the CDS on an annual basis, i.e., plenty of outdated info in the CDS. So, if the Villanova admission website says they don't track demonstrated interest, that seems more likely to be their current stated policy. Caveat, it's likely they numerically track aspects that are inputs for a [i]yield algorithm[/i] even if they don't formally consider those aspects to be demonstrated interest, e.g. link clicks or who knows what else. For a school at Villanova's level, intuitively I would assume they must consider who is likely to attend, whether they admit it or not. Maybe they simply don't care about admission tours anymore, so fine, skip the tour or just do a virtual one. Other than that, I'd work on the assumption that interest counts - better safe than sorry.[/quote]
