I know RFU doesn't take update letters. But would they take thank you letters or letters of intent?

at least from being placed on the alternate list, it said that neither were accepted so idk about after an interview/before decisions are out

I know RFU doesn't take update letters. But would they take thank you letters or letters of intent?

During my interview, one of the admissions member's said something along the lines of "we don't accept any letters, but sometimes people get clever with it and find a way to reach out to us." I have NO idea how to interpret that. Probably best to not send letters and possibly annoy an adcom. I didn't send thank you's (since its an MMI), and I got accepted.

I was sooo confused by this too. Like do they want ppl to call and profess their love over phone??

Haha does anyone else have any luck with this? This school is my top choice and if they take me I'll go.

I would email the dean your intent in an email format not a pdf letter maybe?

Slip a letter under the deans door that says "PLEASE PLEASE GOD PLEASE" and your amcas ID. 70% of the time it works every time.

lol not sure if this is fr but I will actually do it. I think the advisor they assigned to me is Latrice Williams? So I'll just send it to her.

Yes and also the dean i think its a guy

 

[bibo478]

I remember Latrice saying in the info session to send updates to her email, which is what I did. She never responded so I'm not sure if it was considered in the final decision process in the end.

 

[dbw3]

Does RFU do post-interview R’s or only AL?

 

[billybob321]

Yes and also the dean i think its a guy

Thank you sir, you are a godsend.

I emailed her an update and got rejected lmao

Did you send two separate emails then? One to Latrice and one to Michael Ellison, EdD? His title is Associate Dean for Admissions so I assume. that he's the one that I send it to.

I didnt send anything hahaha but this is my guess as to what to do

 

[cheezpuf]

I got AL in oct and no movement since, should i email updates to the admissions team or is that risky since they said not to send updates

i have been AL since nov and I wouldn't. I have significant updates and I'm not sending them since they were very explicit not to

 

[rkann2020]

Does anyone know a specific way to withdraw via the portal post acceptance or do I need to just email admissions? Hopefully my spot can go to one of y'all!

[ivyyuh]

Should those who interviewed 02/06 expect to hear back next week?

It seems like some people from 01/30 heard back last week so I was thinking sometime this week? I could be wrong though.

 

[Neur-out-of-my-mind]

Anyone accepted still not received their RFU account yet? Was told I would get it within 24-48 hours...5 days ago.
