Hey everyone,
I'm just wondering what the current thought is on contacting a school to which one has already applied with the intention of expressing interest in a particular aspect (in my case, research) of the school.
I applied in early September and since then I've realized I more greatly would like to attend a school with a strong research infrastructure. I would consider myself very well accomplished in the field and this was not as strongly conveyed in my professional experience and personal statement. For a lot of these schools, I have slightly below avg stats (22 ts, 21 aa, 21 pat, 26 bio, 19 rc | 3.28 oGPA, 3.81 sGPA). I think that a personal email highlighting my experience and interest couldn't hurt, but would it help?
Thanks!

Would it be worth it to reach out to a school to express my continued interest in research and a particular aspect of that school's research program (if I feel like it was not strongly enough conveyed in my aadsas app)?
