Emailing the PD of my top choice

So I was wondering when would be good time to email the PD of my number one and tell him that emphasize that I really want to go there? Can I say "you are my top choice" or does that sound too desparate?

My plan is to email the PD of my top 5 programs and tell them that I really enjoyed the program and would like to be there? Is there anything wrong with this? Is there something different I should be saying to the PD of my #1 choice vs the top 5?

Let me know what you guys think. I haven't emailed or called anyone yet but seems like everyone is starting to do that...

The sooner, the better--many programs are putting together their own rank lists now, or will be very soon! There is a decent discussion in the ERAS forum on this topic (including what to say to programs #2-5), from Match participants current and past.

Whatever you decide to say to whomever, best of luck in the Match!

Probably too late to do that. Our program, for example, has already had its rank order meeting and finalized its list.
