Since I'm applying to both UConn and University of Florida, I wanted to know - do they have different ways of tracking demonstrated interest during admissions? Would my approach for one impact the other?
Hi there! It's great that you are thinking ahead about things like demonstrated interest. Both the University of Florida and the University of Connecticut don't consider demonstrated interest as part of their application review. While this means you don't have to go visit the campuses and engage with admissions officers as much, I would still recommend you do research through multiple channels. The more you learn about each school through tours, college fairs, connecting with alumni and students, etc, the more you can tailor your applications to each school, especially in the essays! So, while demonstrating interest isn't required, I would still say it can help you strengthen your applications.
