New York University considers interest as one factor among many. Worth a few targeted touches.
Attend an info session in your area
Medium effortMost colleges send admissions reps on regional tours each fall. Check their events page or sign up for their mailing list. Sign in when you arrive.
Open the school's emails and click through
Quick winOnce you're on their mailing list, open them. Many tracking systems flag students who consistently engage. Don't unsubscribe even if you're not committed yet.
Connect with your regional admissions counselor
Medium effortEach region has an assigned counselor (find them on the admissions site). Send one thoughtful, specific email - a question you can't answer from the website. Don't pester.
Attend a college fair where they're present
Medium effortSign in at their booth. Have a real conversation - prepare two specific questions about programs that interest you.
Follow on social and engage authentically
Quick winLike, comment occasionally on their posts. Schools' social teams notice patterns. Don't spam - quality over quantity.
You don't need to do all of these. Pick 2-3 that are realistic and consistent.
