W&M doesn't consider applicant's interest?

Demonstrated interest is not a part of our process. We do not track how many times a prospective student makes contact with our office (via calls, emails, visits or any other means). We check you in when you come for a tour so that we can send you a follow-up email (that email can’t go out if we don’t know that you came). And because that helps us gather data on our campus visit and prospective student behavior (for example are you more likely to apply if you visit). Yes, for ED the fact that W&M is your top choice is part of our process (but that’s used equally across the board for everyone who applies ED because every ED applicant is saying that W&M is their top choice).
