<p>This is what I have gleaned that “showing interest” means for Emory:
Have your son request information from Admissions (including the DVD); visit the school; sit in on a class if possible; meet a coach or professor if possible; and find out which Admissions person is assigned to him (I think it’s done by geographic area or alphabetical but there is a specific person who is assigned to his application). Then he should email that person after his visit, mention how much he liked his visit and why (assuming he genuinely liked it), and periodically email that person with specific updates on awards won or other achievements. Don’t stalk them, but start a respectful dialogue with that person.</p>
