Does anyone have any advice on writing a letter of intent for D.O. schools?

How detailed should the letter be, and who should I address it to? The interviewer?

Thank you!

I would think the admissions committee. The Interviewer already provided their feedback, but then again I'm probably talking out of my arse...

The letter goes to the admissions committee. Just tell them why the school is a perfect fit for you basically.

Any other input on this guys?

In my rough draft I have

1. Why the school is a good fit for me
2. What I have been doing to strengthen my application since AACOMAS
3. How I did in fall classes/ grades
4. Re-established my passion to become a doctor and that the school is my #1 no questions asked.

Thanks

awesome. Thank you.

Another thing I saw someone suggest was the idea of suggesting that you would be open to another interview if available. The idea would be to prove determination/ give them a chance to ask about anything specific in your file.

I think this borders on desperation or might say you didn't feel confident in your first interview.

I thought I would see if anyone has ever asked/ and or actually had a 2nd interview.

Any thoughts?
