[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When does interest tracking begin?  For example, our sophomore has taken a few tours when we were visiting somewhere.  Once their email is in the system, does that mean the tracking has begun?  [/quote]
Great idea to tour starting sophomore year.  You might want to over time keep engaging with the schools that become of real interest and even re-tour, interview, go to interested student days in jr or sr year.  Some colleges from what I hear want to see touring in junior or senior year - so just in case, keep that in mind...[/quote]

Certainly, demonstrated interest is important to certain schools (check the common data set to see which ones consider it).  But as for in-person touring, Could you say which colleges want a detour? Or provide further info?  I am surprised that colleges are prioritizing kids making multiple pricy visits to campus where they have to take off school or work.  I have heard most don’t care if you tour in-person because it is a barrier for some families.  Definitely do online tours and show up at anything in town if you are interested.  But I sort of have a hard time believing that a kid who wasn’t able to tour but demonstrated interest in other ways would be dinged.  I also think as long as you show sufficient demonstrated interest, the other factors of your app are more important.  In other words, they will take a more rigorous kid who demonstrated interest over a less rigorous kid who toured twice.  [/quote]
