Admissions Abridged
If you’ve perused any forums on college admissions (looking at you, Mom and Dad!) then you’ve already come across the term “Demonstrated Interest.” It sounds like some sort of corporate terminology, doesn’t it? That’s because that’s exactly what it is. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: colleges are businesses.
