In this episode, we dive into the many different types of “demonstrated interest” and the particular case of contacting admissions officers:
- Why “demonstrated interest” is generally overrated and over-discussed compared to other candidacy-building factors for students targeting highly selective colleges
- “Strong” vs “weak” demonstrated interest: defining highly strategic forms vs. mere “checkbox” items
- Other types of “quasi-demonstrated interest” or “yield signaling” that can affect admissions odds
- 80/20 rule for demonstrated interest and maximizing leverage
- The poor risk-to-reward ratio of admissions officer contact and why it constitutes “weaker” demonstrated interest at top schools
- Ideal vs. less ideal conditions for contact
- Yale admit example
