Do all colleges accept demonstrated interest letters?

Technically? No. But that doesn’t mean you can’t send one. Demonstrated interest letters aren’t formal requirements—you’re not submitting a tax form here. They’re really just emails with a purpose: showing you care about that school. Some colleges track interest carefully, while others say they don’t consider it. But even then, there’s no rule saying you can’t reach out. Sending a thoughtful email never hurts, especially if it’s personal, respectful, and enthusiastic. Just don’t expect a formal “receipt” or extra gold star. You’re making a connection, not checking a box. Worst case? You get no reply. Best case? You make an impression.
