Is it useful to send a letter of intent to a school that does not have rolling admissions before a decision is made (i.e. you have not yet been put on a waitlist)?
bump...i'm also curious bout this edit: since i know a lot of you will respond with a "search the gdamn forums", please just keep it to yourselves
Yes, it is useful, albeit increasingly less useful as you go up the ranks. Boston, for example, considers letters of intent prior to final decisions.
