Letter Of Intent

Hi Everyone:
I want to write a letter of intent to NYU. I interviewed in Dec, and the decision is suppose to come down Feb 15. I only hope it is not too late. I had just recently decided to write the letter due to various reasons. However, I have no idea how to even start. Did anyone write one yet? If you have, could you please pm me a copy (excluding names and personal info, if you prefer) Thanks!!

No big deal! Write a short, simple and direct letter (with good spelling, grammar and punctuation) thanking the medical school for the acceptance and stating your intent to matriculate.

It is not a notarized, ironbound committment. If something more to your liking appears later, write a polite note thanking them again for the acceptance and requesting a withdrawal. DON'T JUST FAIL TO SHOW UP FOR THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES.

Since AMCAS is fed information from all the medical schools, if you don't withdraw from one of the two before classes start, AMCAS may cause you problems. On another note, keep in mind someone may be on bended knee praying for one of the seats you are sitting on; imagine yourself in that person's place. If you could find him or her, you probably would kill.

NYU is a first-class, though expensive, medical school.

oops...sorry, to correct any misunderstanding, I haven't been accepted by NYU yet. I suppose it is more of letter of interest that I want to write. But I want to convey to the adcom that if accepted, I will go. Well...thanx again everyone!

Basically you need to say just that, if accepted, you'll go. Just write to one of the deans saying why you liked NYU, why you think you are a good fit for it, say some stuff about yourself that's not in your app, etc. Be sure you are sure you absolutely want to go before you state that you will if accepted. It's not binding, but you want to keep your word.
