Demonstrating interest to schools not visited?

I see no value in letting adcoms know their school is a late add.

Demonstrated interest isn’t as simple as booking a trip or reading emails. Those are actions, sure. But anyone could do that (and not truly care about the college.)

The trick is to know the school well enough to know your match (what they look for) in various ways and that you “get” what they’re about. That can include a few other details. But the idea is to show you’re interested enough to have dug deep, processed what you learned, and made a confident decision to apply.

Sounds like your son has been doing this.
