Read a random definition: latro

A quick definition of informal agency action:

Informal agency action: This refers to the activities of an administrative agency that are not related to making rules or decisions. These activities may include investigating, promoting, or overseeing certain issues. It is different from rulemaking, which involves creating new rules or regulations.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Informal agency action refers to administrative-agency activities that are not related to adjudication or rulemaking. These activities may include investigation, publicity, or supervision.

Examples:

An agency may conduct an investigation into a company's compliance with environmental regulations.
An agency may issue a press release to inform the public about a new policy or program.
An agency may supervise the activities of a regulated industry to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

These examples illustrate how agencies can take action outside of formal rulemaking or adjudication processes. By conducting investigations, issuing press releases, or supervising regulated industries, agencies can still have a significant impact on policy and regulation.

I am not an expert but I would imagine with your stats a lot of schools will think you have options so I would recommend writing about why that location is a top choice for you not just the school being a top choice. Try to show/convince them you will attend.
