I am waitlisted at two schools right now. I asked a professor to write me a LOR for next years cycle in case i dont get in...He just finished it.

Should i send it to the schools that im waitlisted at? Will it even matter?

My plan was to send it to those schools...and than call in a couple days to check my status on the waiting list. This way i dont sound like im just calling to bug them ..but to call to confirm they recieved the letter and just checking the list at the same time. What do u guys think?

I don't know about sending an additional letter of recommendation. Have you sent a letter of intent/interest to any of the schools?

You can definitely send an additional LOR, but I wouldn't bother sending it unless you're SURE that it's really good and will be an asset to your application, not just some generic letter. Also, I agree with zipmedic - you should consider sending a letter of interest/intent to the schools to let them know you're still interested in going.

I'd send them my kitchen sink if it was a positive symbol and might possibly help my acceptance.

Have you done anything since you interviewed that might help out your application some? Have you sent an update letter since? I think an update letter/letter of interest would be more effective than another letter of recommendation, unless you're sure it's a really good letter.
