<p>I'm talking about the schools that are easier to get into if you show them that you love them (by visiting 10+ times, calling admissions repeatedly, researching everything about the school, writing a fantastic essay based on why you love them).</p>
<p>The only one I can think of is Penn. Any more?</p>
<p>UPenn. My friend was talking to an admissions officer, and was told that they keep track of if and how many times somebody calls after applying, and look upon interest displayed that way in a positive light.</p>
<p>futurenyustudent - you are aware the Tufts Syndrome is largely a myth - and that it doesn't really exist anymore? </p>
<p>Anyway, with any top school, they want to see that a student has real, demonstrated interest, so that they will actually thrive in the respective community, versus just going through the motions of applying to the most selective schools.</p>
