Letter of interest for waitlist

Hello, is it recommended to send letters of interest to schools you are waitlisted at, and if so are there guidelines for what the letters should contain? Also, for most of the schools I am WL at, I already wrote a "why this school" essay in the secondary, so I am concerned about a LOI having redundant information.

Here's a general information thread with a "how to write" guide at the bottom.

Already written one to each school? Keep your next one short (a few sentences) say one or two things that you would look forward to being a part of at their school or that make their school stand out to you.

The schools know you're interested because you applied and came tot he interview.

Do said schools accept LOIs?

Most admissions deans treat them as lies.
