We&#8217;re also going to give some tips to get into the college of your dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is Demonstrated Interest?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demonstrated Interest means exactly what it sounds like. It refers to the amount of interest you show a specific college in attending their school. If you show a college that you\u2019re enthusiastic about attending their school, that is demonstrating interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colleges use demonstrated interest to gauge how serious you are about attending their school. They also use demonstrated interest to estimate the number of accepted students that will ultimately attend their school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colleges know that you have some level of interest if you&#8217;re applying in the first place. But, they also understand they aren\u2019t the only school you\u2019re applying to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Important Is Demonstrated Interest?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You would think that all colleges would use demonstrated interest during admissions. After all, it can help them measure how interested applicants are in their school. In reality, only about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nacacnet.org\/news--publications\/publications\/state-of-college-admission\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">37% of colleges use it.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colleges decide on an individual basis whether to use demonstrated interest. The good thing for you is that colleges are upfront about it. They typically share this information on their admissions website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colleges that use demonstrated interest are more likely to admit students with a high interest in their school. But, they also won\u2019t jump to admit students who aren\u2019t a good fit for their school in the first place. That means that only showing interest in a school won\u2019t make up for low grades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a college doesn&#8217;t use demonstrated interest, no amount of interest you show will make a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Can I Show Demonstrated Interest?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-6333 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/dan-dimmock-sNwnjxm8eTY-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstrated Interest in College Admissions\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" \/>Now that you understand demonstrated interest, let\u2019s explore how you can use it to your advantage. At the end of the day, demonstrated interest can help set you apart from other candidates with similar qualifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what kinds of actions can you take to show demonstrated interest? Here are a few:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the college. As we mentioned, college visits are a great way to see if a college is a good fit for you. You\u2019ll be able to tour the campus, meet with an admissions officer, and even speak to current students. Some schools offer fly-in programs to help low-income students pay for the visit.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attend college fairs. This can be a great alternative to visiting colleges if you aren\u2019t able to. It allows you to have face-to-face conversations with representatives from the college. If you attend one of these fairs, make sure you sign up for their email list. This will not only show interest, but it will also prove that you were there.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attend online events. Many colleges offer webinars or online events. Attending these events is another good way to show interest.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communicate with the admissions office. Being in consistent contact with the admissions office can be a positive thing. We don\u2019t suggest that you bombard them with trivial questions every day. But, inquiring about things like internship opportunities shows that you are serious about the school.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign up for the school\u2019s email list and start opening emails. Many schools use a database tool to track whether applicants open emails.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply early. This is another way to show the college that you are serious about going there. If you know that you want to attend the school, apply through early decision. In this case, if the college accepts you, you will have to attend.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet with an admissions officer during a high school visit. Some colleges send admissions officers to high schools to talk with students.\u00a0 If they come to your school, be sure to meet them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arrange an alumni interview. This is a great way to find out more about school while showing your interest. If you can\u2019t travel to the campus, this is a good alternative.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the school on social media. If you are interested in attending a school, you\u2019re likely following them on social media. If not, now is the time because it\u2019s a great way to show interest. \u2018Like\u2019 their Facebook page and follow them on <a href=\"https:\/\/instasize.com\/blog\/landscape-photography-master-landscape-pictures-on-mobile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a> and Twitter. Colleges can track your interactions with their social media accounts. So, don\u2019t be shy with those likes and retweets. Make sure that your interactions are genuine.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Schools That Use Demonstrated Interest<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a list of some schools that use demonstrated interest.
