Should I email or mail my Letter of Intent?

[matthouser195]

Im writing a letter of intent to a school I interviewed at. I don't know whether to add it as the body of the email, send it as an attachment, or mail it to the school. Any input/advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

One question first: do you hold any acceptances elsewhere?

Yes I received an acceptance, but it wasnt to my top choice school.

Then if you feel compelled to write an LOI, send it as a PDF attachment. Make sure to specifically address why you prefer that school. Be honest about it. Geography, fit, etc. are good reasons. Higher ranking is not.

What about uploading it to the schools portal if there is one? A good option?

There isn't a portal unfortunately

Does the school address LOI in their website?.. don’t want to send it maybe if they say they don’t want or read them..

Write it up, format it nicely, and include it as an attachment in the email. Everything is done nowadays via email, with the added benefit that it won't get physically lost. In the body of the email, ask nicely for their confirmation that they've received it.
