If they have seen your primary then Wouldn’t they already know that your an alum?

I just can’t see mentioning that you’re an alum of their associated undergrad doing much. You’d essentially just be reminding them of some rather insignificant piece of info that they saw in your primary. Can’t hurt though so by all means go ahead
 
How much does being an undergrad alum at say morsani matter? At all?
 
Here’s what I think- if you wanna mention that it was your undergrad, make the letter also reference your continuing interest in the school, and why being a graduate of the school makes you a better candidate and/or more likely to matriculate. Talk about how your time as an undergrad gave you knowledge of the area, a support network of friends and mentors, or how much you would like to go back to where the school is. You have to play it as a strength, at least that’s my $0.02

Yeah - this sounds great as part of an LOI after you are on a WL. It gives them reasons to think you might actually matriculate after they have already interviewed and not rejected you.

Pre-II, which I think is what OP is talking about, do you really think reminding them that you went to their UG is going to nudge them into extending an II that hasn't already been forthcoming? I mean, they already know where you went to school and it hasn't meant anything to date, so why would it matter in a LOI begging for an II?
