If we interviewed in October and want to share an update, do we write a letter of Interest? I don't want to write a Letter of Intent because I heard that's better for if you're WL-ed. What does everyone suggest?
 
Did you send thank you note after interview? If so, did you upload to portal or send directly?
 
Yes, I sent a combined letter of interest and update in early Dec
Congrats!! What type of information do you include in the letter? I previously read that we shouldn't say they're our top school because we might not receive the best scholarship, is this true?

Oop if that's the case. I sent them an update letter explaining a recent pub, but then also mentioned why they're my top school.

This sounds like a problem for after you get in first 😉
 
Hi everyone, I was recently admitted here, and I was wondering if there is a current student I can DM to ask some questions about this school.
 
Did anyone who interviewed send thank you letters? The portal doesn't have an option to upload thank you letters (just research, updates, CV) so I was wondering if you just emailed them? probably not super important but would like to know haha

You can email them to admissions (they will upload it to your portal) or you can upload them yourself

I just emailed them directly to my interviewers. Nothing uploaded to the portal.
 
Anyone have thoughts on sending LOI (intent) post II without any acceptances yet? Interviewed october and havent heard back yet.

Ive heard various people say its not very useful without mentioning you would turn down other A’s

Honestly zero idea but I just sent a Letter of intent saying it was my top choice but I didn’t mention I would turn down my other As? Maybe I should have idk
 
Anyone else who sent a letter of intent - did you receive a confirmation email or confirmation of any sort from admissions?
