Hi there! You're absolutely right that showing demonstrated interest can help with your college application. Here are a few ways you might consider showing your interest in a specific college:

1. Visit the campus: Going for a campus tour or attending an information session can show that you're genuinely interested in the school. Plus, it'll give you a better understanding of the campus culture and environment.

2. Attend college fairs: When colleges send representatives to college fairs, it's an excellent opportunity to ask questions and show your interest. Be sure to sign in and engage with the representatives.

3. Connect on social media: Follow the college's official social media accounts and engage with their content. You can like, comment, or share their posts to show your interest.

4. Reach out to the admissions office: If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact the admissions office. It's a great way to establish a connection and show that you're proactive.

5. Apply for college-specific scholarships: This not only shows your interest, but it also demonstrates your commitment to attending the college if you're granted the scholarship.

Hope these tips help you in your college application journey! Good luck!
