Hi all,

Just curious to know what you all think about sending a letter of intent/update letter/additional letters of recommendation to schools where you've been waitlisted. I've heard some say that it can affect your status, and others say that schools won't even look at any additional information you send. Opinions?
 
I'm planing on it.

Well, I would say that you should contact each school you're on a waitlist for to ask about that... because if a school does not appreciate extra materials, it may count against you (subconsciously or otherwise) if you send more 🙁
