Some colleges make a point of saying that they don't follow demonstrated interest. Still, that doesn't mean you shouldn't get on their radar if you are truly interested.
Planning on applying to a particulars schools? Sign up for college mailing lists, usually on the admissions page. If you don't see it, just type "mailing list" in the search line. Yes, you'll begin getting emails, and while you shouldn't interpret these as a lead-in to an offer of admissions, they matter. Your interactions with colleges are tracked by platforms like Slate and Salesforce. Now that "yield management" is a top priority for colleges, opening emails and following schools (including certain academic departments and sports teams) on Instagram is an valuable way to demonstrate interest.
Interviews are not always offered, but take advantage of opportunities when they are available. During the pandemic, admissions reps could not travel to high schools so Zoom interviews became more common. Even though we are getting back to pre-pandemic schedules, many reps still have not resumed their 2019 travel schedules. Reach out and see if they are willing to meet with you--come prepared with questions that cannot be easily answered on the website! Whether the interview is evaluative or informational, be ready to share stories that show who you are and have an enjoyable, relaxed conversation that shows your readiness for college.
Visits are the best way to learn about a college, but only certain schools "care" if you get to campus before you apply. To demonstrate the most interest, ask to sit in on classes and schedule an overnight. While there is no guarantee, showing colleges your love and enthusiasm is a way to distinguish yourself from other students who may have similar GPA's, rigor and test scores. Colleges want to admit students who will choose to attend, and your demonstrated interest lets them know you are serious about enrolling if admitted.
What makes UCLA such a draw for students from all over the world? (It's 12% international.) Those who are lucky enough to be admitted (17%), almost always stay-UCLA has one of the highest college retention rates in the world.
Bruin Pride is just the beginning! It's no wonder that UCLA students love their community. The sprawling campus is accented by palm trees, flowers, and a mix of Spanish-style and contemporary buildings. UCLA is ranked nearly at the the top of many lists: public colleges, food, campus, and location.
Admission Director Gary A. Clark, Jr. spoke to our group of independent counselors about UCLA's Transfer Alliance Program. California community college students are certified after completing the honors/scholars program and given priority consideration for admission to UCLA College of Letters and Science. We then saw a presentation by the UCLA Honors Program reps, who discussed how their program emphasized interdisciplinary education and why this type of learning prepares students for today's workplace.
Of course, UCLA is impressive all around: every program is exceptional and the academics are competitive and challenging. One major difference to note-UCLA operates on a quarter system schedule: classes begin late in September and end in mid-June. Who is an ideal student? A disciplined, independent learner who is also well-organized and focused will distinguish himself/herself in large classes and get a jump on registering for courses. Being outgoing and confident will help too-UCLA offers an amazing social environment on campus (Greek life, clubs, sports, performing arts, and shows by professional performers) and off (beaches, mountains, a hip restaurant scene, movie theatres) in an exciting city with incomparable weather. One visit to this campus proved why 100,000 students reach for an acceptance each year!
