Sending a Second Letter of Intent to the Same School?

I sent a letter of intent to a school before being placed on the waitlist. Now that I am on the waitlist, I want to express my intent again to go there, if accepted. Should I send a second letter of intent? Or an update letter? Thanks.

They already knew of your intent and still placed you on their waitlist. A second letter of intent is unlikely to move the needle.

An update letter could be considered if the school welcomes them *and* you have new significant accomplishments to report since your interview and last letter (new publication, etc.). Just my thoughts.

Thanks for your advice. I don't have any new updates to share. I am worried that if I don't send something after my wait list decision, it will look like I am no longer interested. But this is my top choice school so I want to express that.

They know you're interested.

But you don't want to look as if you're needy.

Don't double text your ex and the same applies to medical schools.
