Some U.S. universities do track demonstrated interest, but from my desk in Sangli, I find that for applicants like us, it's often a distant concern compared to test scores and essays. You can check a college's Common Data Set to see if they consider it. But aai re, my own research taught me that for our context, a deeply specific 'why this major' essay showing genuine study from afar matters more than virtual tours we can't afford. My sister's IIT prep, where pure merit was everything, shaped this belief—polished online interest can feel secondary when your real demonstration is solving complex problems from a quiet room.
