Waitlisted: Sending Letters (yay or nay)

Hi, everyone! I was curious if anyone has ever sent a letter of continued interest? I know that this is a thing with some PhD and Med programs but wasnt sure about Veterinary schools. Would this be frowned upon and make me look worse? Would this be favorable? Some schools do not release rankings on their waitlist so I wasnt sure if there was any flexibility there. Thank you in advance!

It’s not a thing in vet med. Don’t bother. By staying on the waitlist they’ll assume you’re still interested.

This.
It will do nothing. Won't hurt you, but is a waste of your time and effort.

Thank you for making this thread! I’ve heard many different things about sending letters. I think I am going to do so especially because the school I wanna go to has an unranked waiting list and they reevaluate students when a seat becomes available! There is no harm at least updating them, I have done a lot of significant things sense submitting my application.

Be sure the website for the schools you plan to contact do not explicitly state they do not accept updates
