<p>Hi!</p>
<p>What are some ways to show demonstrated interest in a college that really takes that into consideration? What if it's difficult to travel to that specific college?</p>
<p>One way would be to express your interest and knowledge of the school through it's "Why FirstChoiceU?" essay if the school has one.</p>
<p>What if I'm applying by the Common Application?</p>
<p>You need to e-mail /write to a prof at the school. Attend a regional information
session of theirs and make yourself known to the admissions officer who presents.
Also contact the admissions office for alumni in your area that you can speak with.</p>
<p>Most top schools do not have demonstrated interest as a criteria. Apparently
WUSTL (maybe Brown? .... unknown) did as of last year still.</p>
<p>Do colleges send reps to your school or to college fairs near your school? Usually they'll have you fill out a card and they'll record your info.</p>
<p>Yes, I went to a city meeting and wrote my name and information on the card. The reps don't come to my school though.</p>
<p>Is the meeting and applying for scholarships enough for "interest" in my circumstances?</p>
