How should I demonstrate interest?

<p>Kenyon is my first choice, but I can't apply ED due to financial reasons. Also, I can't visit due to financial reasons. I briefly interviewed with a professor off-campus, and I spoke with my regional representative. After thanking her by email, I'm not sure how I should follow up. Can I outright send an email telling her that Kenyon is my first choice—I feel like that's too forward. Anyway, with my circumstances, how can I further demonstrate interest. I want them to know it's my first choice!</p>
