How Demonstrating Interest in a College Can Hurt Your Pocketbook
Are we giving the wrong advice on demonstrated interest?
Do you find yourself asking colleges how much they consider demonstrated interest in their campus? Do you instruct students to open those emails and respond to invites from colleges to virtual fairs? Did you ever think about how demonstrated interest might harm a student's chances for more money in college? So often our focus is on admissions. But how valuable is admissions alone? If a student can't afford the college, what value is admissions? Former college admissions representative and founder of TuitionFit, Mark Salisbury discusses the downfalls of demonstrated interest rarely considered.
