[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Huh, for some reason I remember my kid checking in by name at the desk in Peabody before we went to sit down for the admissions presentation with the gentleman with the short ponytail.  Perhaps I'm mixing up the UVA tour with another on[/b]e.[/quote]

From Dean J. "Q. Does it matter if a student has a “demonstrated interest” in UVA before applying? A. UVA does not use demonstrated interest at all.Oct 13, 2016".  UVA can't because it received almost 50,000 applications this year and is processing all of this with a relatively small public school office.  Tracking demonstrated interest requires time and money.  If you signed up for something, it may have been because there is a number cap to each tour.  After the large auditorium presentation, the groups form and tour with the UVA student representatives - only a certain amount are allowed in the auditorium and in the small groups.  On the day we were there every seat was taken in the auditorium.  I can't remember the size of our break-out group  - maybe 20?  Anyhow, that's how they control the size of the small student-run tours (My DC got in and got one of the coveted tour guide positions).
