hey,

I am writing a letter to the admissions committiee at my top choice school and have a few questions.

As far as content goes, I am basically telling them I enjoyed my interview and loved the campus, and letting them know that if accepted, I would 100% attend.
I am also updating them of all my major activities since submitting my application that I didn't get to mention in my interviews.

As for formating, I have a paragraph in the beginning thanking them for interviewing me, and letting them know i loved the school.
Then I listed bullet points of new things iv been doing
then concluded with saying i love their school, and would 100% attend if accepted.

its a little over a page, and will probably a page and a half when finished.

I will be attaching my transcripts, and copy of my published research findings.

I was wondering, how do I send the letter?
Do I attach it to an email, along with my transcripts and research?
or do I cut and paste it and just send it as a regular email?
(Also, should I send it to the admissions office, or the dean of admissions?)

Thank you!

I'm sure others will chime in, but from what I can glean:
1. Try to keep it to 1 page if possible
2. Probably attach it as a .doc or .pdf to an email for formatting purposes
3. Send it to the admission office and ask them to add it to your file

Best of luck to you!
 
With respect to format, email the admissions office and ask how they would prefer to receive it. If you don't want to do that, both e-mail it (I would do PDF) and snail mail a copy. If you send an email, I would explicitly attach the letter rather than include it in the body of your email.
