[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the emphasis on demonstrated interest is incredibly lame. this is gamesmanship 101[/quote]

Well, visiting the school will probably earn serious points because it isn’t on the way to anywhere.  Not like signing in at the visitor center at BU when you visit like 10 other Boston schools.[/quote]

My guess about demonstrated interest is that they want to encourage potential applicants to visit campus because their campus shows so well. My kids both visited schools they liked on paper, but the feel of the campus was abysmal to them. WashU has a beautiful campus in which they clearly invest a great deal of resources - it also just feels like a happy place. But as the previous poster noted, not many are in STL by chance and do a campus visit because it's convenient (which is when my kids saw Chicago, Philadelphia and DC schools). My daughter attends a school in the NE but visited a close friend at WashU, and it made her encourage her little brother to put the school on his list and try to tour it. [/quote]
