Hello everyone! I'm applying to a few Ivy League schools and I've heard that demonstrating interest can be a helpful factor. How can I show these schools that I'm genuinely interested and that they are my top choices? Thanks for the advice!
Hi there! You're absolutely right that demonstrating interest can be helpful during the application process. Here are a few ways you can show your top choices that you're genuinely interested in attending their school:
1. Visit their campus: If possible, go for campus tours, attend open houses, and participate in info sessions. This gives you a better understanding of the school and shows them you've taken the time to learn about their community.
2. Reach out to admissions officers: Introduce yourself and ask any meaningful questions during college fairs, high school visits, or via email. Make sure your interactions are genuine and your questions are well-thought-out.
3. Engage with their social media: Following the college's social media accounts and engaging with their content helps show your interest and can keep you informed.
4. Apply Early Decision (if it is truly your top choice): This shows your strong commitment to the school and signals that you're serious about attending if accepted. Good luck!
