How do I demonstrate interest in a college without visiting campus?

Hi everyone, I'm really interested in a particular college, but due to distance and financial constraints, I can't visit the campus. What are some other ways to demonstrate my interest in the college to improve my chances of admission? Thanks for any advice!

Hi there! I completely understand your situation, as my own child faced a similar issue when applying to colleges. There are several ways to show your interest in a college without physically visiting the campus.

First, try attending the college's virtual events, such as webinars or online open houses. This will not only help you learn more about the college, but also show your interest in their programs. You can also sign up for their mailing list, which might include newsletters and updates about the college and its events.

Additionally, try to connect with the admissions officers and current students through email or social media. Ask thoughtful questions and engage in meaningful conversations that show your genuine interest in the college. Lastly, when writing your application essays, be specific about why you want to attend this particular college and how it aligns with your goals. Good luck with your college application process!
