A student’s “demonstrated interest” can be a pivotal factor when it comes to admissions decisions. Don’t take those colleges for granted, TELL THEM if you are intriqued with their campus and interested in their programs. Colleges want to feel that if they admit you, there’s a good chance you will accept their offer! They face a lot of pressure around what’s called “yield,” so admitting students who love them is important for business. That’s why showing your interest can boost your chances of getting admitted. In short, colleges want to be loved by students, as much as students want to be loved by colleges.

Colleges are more likely to favor the student who shows interest. Students who show interest to colleges have a higher chance of being admitted when compared to so-called “stealth” applicants. Many colleges track this data so be sure to get in touch with the colleges you like!
Students have various opportunities to show genuine interest in the colleges they are applying to. College fairs and tours, college visits, interviews, and notes to admissions offices all give students the opportunity to demonstrate interest. Students can of course solidify their interest by sharing SPECIFIC DETAILS in their essays about why they’re looking forward to attending each college.
