I interviewed at UMass about 3 months ago and am debating whether to upload a letter of intent+update to my application portal. Looking for advice on if this is a good idea or could hurt my chances somehow.
- I have strong ties to Mass and to the school itself (OOS status tho)
- Interviewed in Nov
- Letter would express my genuine intent to attend, discuss how I have continued to develop roots and community connections here, and describe a unique new activity I have been involved in since submitting my app (thinking this constitutes a significant update)
- FYI, UMass has been known to discourage letters of interest, especially without a significant update.
Does anyone have insight to if a letter like this could do any harm? Should I hope for a WL and send one after that? Just wanting to do everything I can to help my chances, but have found conflicting advice that is not always applicable to UMass's timeline
