Hi,
I’m a US Citizen currently living abroad. I intend to join college in fall 2019. Now I know some of the colleges on my list highly value demonstrated students from the applicant. What are some ways you could suggest a US Citizen staying abroad to show demonstrated interest after applying? Note that it’ll be impractical to fly down internationally just to request interviews or register for a campus visit. Any ideas?
http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1626043-ways-to-show-a-high-level-of-applicants-interest.html is an older discussion on the subject.
Find the ‘request info’ form. Fill it out with a special college email address. Check it daily or several times a week and click on the links they send (you WILL be tracked for clicks and whether you read ie., spent 30-60 second on the page.)
Write down in a notebook any questions that come to mind as you read. Later in the summer send messages to the admissions office with the aforementioned questions. Note that these questions should NOT have an answer readily available on the website! But rather, reference what you read and ask for further details on topics of interest to you.
