This might be a dumb question, but when you submit your post-waitlist letter of interest, does your text box page still look the same and it allows you to edit the text even after you press submit?

I interviewed on 1/10 does it make sense to send an update letter about an abstract and poster presentation + oral presentation that I will be doing
 
Where in the portal can updates be submitted? I can't find the tab. I assume "Post Submission" but my portal says "Sorry - the post submission form is now closed." Can I no longer submit updates? That seems odd being that it is only the middle of December, but I could be wrong
Same thing happened to me

hey, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on when to best sent out an update letter/letter of interest post interview? maybe in a general sense? and if georgetown is a bit different, is there a different timeline to follow? from what ive seen, they like to see students interest
 
This might be a dumb question but I’m just making sure- I already filled out FAFSA and the questionnaire for GUSOM but i’m looking at CSS and realizing i’m not going to qualify for need based aid i don’t think. If I just don’t submit it I’m still eligible for any merit scholarship in theory (I know they don’t really have any) and loans and everything correct?? It seems like a huge hassle to do CSS for probably no reason

Georgetown doesn’t do merit based aid. I would do the CSS if you can, you never know what will happen
 
Advice on post-interview pre-decision update letters and letters of interest or intent? I know Georgetown likes to receive these letters, but I am feeling somewhat lost in regards to the timeline. I personally thought letters made more sense and would be more effective when sent if waitlisted. Would not sending a letter while waiting to hear back hurt me in any way, or vice versa? Can a letter with meaningful updates at this point in time possibly turn a R into a WL or A, or a WL to an A?

They accept letters of interest/update post-interview and pre-decision. They don't accept letters of intent pre-decision.

I'm not sure about the rest. Probably sending it sooner than later is good? It takes them roughly 3 months to review applications post-interview.

Interviewed Oct 23rd, WL'd Jan 10th, sent LOintent day of WL. Does anyone know what to expect from this school's WL movement? I checked MSAR but it didn't share anything.
