<p>I want to go to NYU, but I'm really not sure about anything: whether I'd get in, whether I can afford to go if I get in, etc.</p>
<p>BUT I am very interested in the School. I asked for the school's "headon" newsletter, etc. I can't do a college visit, since that's out of my range. What should I do to show that I am interested, and that I would like to know more about the school and it's options?</p>
<p>any help guys?</p>
<p>email an admissions counselor and build a relationship there. Do you have an ad rep that visits your school? Get to know them or interview with an alum in your area.</p>
<p>I don't think an ad rep will visit my school. I could ask though. will they have emails for admissions counselors on the website. i haven't searched fully but, i can try.</p>
<p>thanks!!</p>
<p>definitely email a counselor. and email the head of the school/department you are interested in. handwritten letters are slightly better. :-)</p>
<p>What's the point of e-mailing the counselor? Don't e-mail just to try to show interest. E-mail only if you have a question that you want answered, that you can't find the answer to on the college website. </p>
<p>Here are some things to show interest:
- if they visit your school, attend that
- have an interview
- contact the college and ask if it has any program where you can visit the college for free (some schools have this)</p>
<p>Don't e-mail someone just for the sake of e-mailing.</p>
<p>thanks guys!! When do colleges normally visit schools? in the beginning of the school year?</p>
<p>It depends hopeful gtb. Ask your school if NYU even has a rep that visits your school. It's only likely if your school traditionally sends good applicants to NYU. Otherwise, your school won't be visited. Perhaps there may be a regional college fair or NYU sponsored event?</p>
<p>However, I highly doubt that a school as selective as NYU is going to track "demonstrated interest" at all unless you're a recruited athlete. "Demonstrated interest" is used by schools who are trying to nab top applicants who might be lured to other schools (like NYU) to really pour on the schmoozing and extra consideration might be afforded. The ultra selectives don't need this extra boost and therefore don't bother to put any weight into it. Good luck to you</p>
<p>oh really? that's good(and somewhat nerve-racking) to know, t26e4...</p>
