Who should we address letters of intent? To the Dean or admissions? I want to make sure I am writing to the right ppl to express my interest. i don't want it to be thrown in the trash. thanks for any feedback.

I sent them via email and I got replies back from most of them. To the schools where I interviewed but haven't heard anything from, I also wrote a shorter version to my interviewer- sent thru regular mail.

mellow,
i was wondering. .were your letter of intents helpful (in particular, the pre-interview ones?) did you happen to write them to usc and ucsd? also, so, you think emailing letter of intents are completely fine? . .or is it better to send a letter via mail as well? thanks for any comments.

Dean of Admissions.

You want to address it to an actual person so that you can be sure it is read, and not just added to your file.

ghm....I know that USC is really strict about adding anything to your file. Check with them before you send the letter.
