Offering ED is exactly a display of demonstrated interest and yield protection for UVA.  It is not that complicated.

I think you're blurring lines here. Demonstrated interest is turning up for tours, emailing questions, opening emails with links and following them. ED is an overt commitment to a college. You can apply ED having never done any of the actions that demonstrate interest. [/quote]

Applying ED IS an example of the most demonstrated interest of all.  Saying I will attend your school if accepted shows the ultimate interest. [/quote]

However, a school may find it odd that you ED'ed with zero interaction with the school.  Like you have no idea what you are getting into (and maybe you are a greater risk of backing out for "financial aid" reasons as it's not a totally enforceable commitment).  If you are marginal or even if not, you should probably visit before ED'ing.  Well, you should do that anyway just out of common sense.[/quote]
