    Demonstrated Interest: What Colleges Really Want; Supplemental Essays: What’s the Point?; One Big Beautiful Bill’s Impact on Student Loans

    Today we go over some frequently asked questions about admissions. Ever wonder what colleges mean when they say they track demonstrated interest? Think that maybe sending weekly emails to the college admissions representative at your favorite college is a good idea?

In addition, she’ll cover colleges that do not track interest. (Hint: Stanford and Harvard are two of them.)
