“You could have 20 colleges on your list, visit them all, still not be able to demonstrate”

Your posts on this I think, confuse fit vs demonstrated interest to see who’s most likely to enroll. The best way to show interest is to apply early but since OP is talking about RD, colleges could use demonstrated interest as one factor to figure out who gets accepted from similarly qualified applicants.

"Demonstrated interest isn’t as simple as booking a trip or reading emails. "

That’s actually a big part of it for schools that track interest. Many colleges have outsourced a lot of the analytics to third parties to figure out who will enroll, based on who opens emails, time spent on website etc. Now the colleges with yields over 70% probably don’t have to do this of course.
