1) How many letters of interest and letters of intent do you think a school receives?
I thought LOIs were pretty foreign to non-SDNers. Can any adcoms give an estimate of the number of people who actually sent a letter of intent or interest?
2) How receptive are TX medical schools to letter of intents (specifically UTMB)?
Do these schools actually read them upon receipt? Or do they just add it to your file and review it later IF you so happen to be a candidate who is similar to the diversity profile they're looking to fill?
Generally I can see why letter of intents may be disregarded. But I feel that if a school is truly your first choice and you would turn down your current acceptance for it, then it is still meaningful to let them know if you are on its wait-list.
How impactful do you think LOIntents are if you can write specifically and descriptively why you are a match to a school's mission and fit if you are on its waitlist?
