[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Demonstrating interest is exhausting. My DD needs to focus on finals, IB essay, SAT but she is supposed to also zoom into a million virtual sessions for the schools she likes? She is really interested in three school but every week they send sone new virtual session around sone seemingly random/super specific topic — how much attendance is enough???[/quote]

She  should really pick her true favorites--realistic favorites, and focus on those for the virtual events, and hopefully even a few in-person visits. You are not wrong. I have a senior and fall semester was by far the hardest he has ever had. Trying to fit in pretend interest in schools that he wasn't really interested in because his college counselor insisted he needed more safeties, was exhausting and not a good use of time. With that said, he got into the schools--several reaches--that he showed true interest in and waitlisted from schools that were true safeties that he didn't do so much as a virtual tour for. He got into a top 25, several top 60 (all of which he "showed interest," and waitlisted at a school that is somewhere around 85 and another not in the top 100. A very strange process.[/quote]

QQ- so do the universities track attendance at these virtual events? Or do applicants just indicate how many events they attended and the impact of those events on them? [/quote]
