Good reasons to stay in touch with an adcom

Applying to College

<p>Hey, I'm trying to keep in touch with my adcoms and wanted to know some good/BS reasons I can e-mail them. I don't want to e-mail asking a lot about the school because I already applied and I don't want to make it seem like I don't know anything.... I do however want to show interest and maintain contact.</p>

<p>What are the best ways to do this without actually having anything to really say?</p>

<p>Don't e-mail them if you have nothing to say. I'm sure that they can see through that kind of b.s., and that all you'd do is irritate them.</p>

<p>Northstarmom, I need some way to show them I'm still interested.</p>

<p>I doubt they'd read your e-mail and immediately pull out your application and write something on it about your committment, unless you were a very memorable applicant or your question was particularly awe-inspiring. However, as I can't think of any such questions, I'm afraid I can't be of any help :(</p>

<p>NSM has it right- if you really don't have a question, don't bother them. They're reading applications non-stop all day; do you really want to make a poor bleary-eyed admissions officer answer an email? It's ok to step back and hope for the best at this point. :)</p>

<p>staying in touch with an adcom is not gonna get you accepted. Forget it, homie.</p>

<p>yep
It might show desperation nd usually the guys answering mail arent the adcom</p>

<p>It would be interesting to know how one 'shows interest' in a school when you've already visited, had an interview, asked and had answered all your questions, etc. My D has been told by several folks that it is important to let her favorite schools know she is 'really interested' in them, but she has run out of questions to ask, and while she may plan a second ON visit in fall and then send in EA apps, she can't quite figure out how to keep adcoms aware of her continuing interest.</p>
