<p>Many LACs look for “demonstrated interest” in the school. So if possible visit, interview etc. at the school. My D even shadowed a student for a day at her LAC. If distance makes a trip to the college not doable then contact your admissions rep and ask if you can do an interview with a local alumni. There is also an advantage to applying ED to many LACs so if that is possible for you, consider that option…</p>
