hi guys,

I got waitlisted at a couple of schools I was dreaming of attending. Would it be too late to submit additional letters of recommendation through AADSAS? Is it possible to still do that?

Thanks!

Im not sure how much that would really help your cause, even if it were still possible to do that

What would you recommend I do? I don't want to feel so helpless 🙁 at least if I try I'll know I gave it my all

Can any previously waitlisted candidates share their success stories?

Whether or not it would make a difference, anyone know if it's even feasible to submit additional rec letters at this point in time through AADSAS?

I submitted my 4th lettet of rec a while after I submitted my other recs, and I think it definitely helped.

Hey thanks for the reply! When did you submit the additional letter and were you ultimately accepted to the school?

I submitted my 4th letter about 2 months after I submitted everything else. I don't have an acceptance yet but I received an interview invitation.

Thank you! And did you submit the 4th letter through AADSAS or directly to your school(s)?

Contact the school, and ask to update your application.

Send a letter of intent.

is it too early to send a letter of intent?

also, how would a letter of interest vs letter of intent help my app?

Can't guaranteed you anything but the way I look at it is this.

Person A who was waitlisted does not send anything or call the office. Complete silence.

Person B who was waitlisted sent a letter to the office. Has called multiple times expressing his interest.

As an adcom who are you more likely to pull off that list?
