[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Must be nice to have the money and time for "demonstratable interest" [/quote]
Sorry if your child doesn't have the money or time to open emails from some of these schools, watch virtual videos about this school, attend virtual events from these schools, attend an event if they are coming to your area, see the admissions counselor if they are coming to your child's school, email the schools admission counselor to set up a virtual interview, etc.

With today's technology, there are more ways to show demonstrated interest than traveling to a campus to visit it.[/quote]

+1 you can even sign up for virtual tours, which I assume are equivalent to an in-person event. Schools with the “I love” essay make it easy to tell who’s dialing it in. [/quote]

+2 And, regardless of whether or not a school tracks demonstrated interest, kids should be doing the "demonstrated interest" things anyway so they can learn about the schools they are considering. If you aren't spending time on the website, opening email, doing a tour (virtual or in person), attending information sessions (virtual or in person), talking to the rep at a school visit, etc.,  how do you even know you want to go there??[/quote]
