I'm done with all my interviews(!) and I have a clear favorite school that I would love to be at, would it be appropriate to send a letter of intent now before decisions are released?

You have a really impressive list of interviews - I'm curious which is the one that is the clear favorite.

And what do you mean by letter of intent? Don't you have to be accepted somewhere before you declare intent to enroll 😕 ?

Sorry, I am a little slow and confused.

no. a letter of intent means you tell a school you've interviewed at "if you're kind enough to accept me, i'll definitely attend." what you're talking about is merely the "accepting an acceptance" step regarding a school that's already granted you admission (which is non-binding).

So UVA is your first choice huh? What did it for you?

Wow. I didn't know that you could do this...I thought that once a file was complete, and the interview was done, that was it. No further supplemental information would be added to evaluate a candidate, including his/her desire to attend that particular school.

Hey Mimi, if Vandy is not you favorite, I really hope you get that acceptance. That way, an extra spot opens up for us waitlisters. 😉
