Hi friends,
I'm a little baffled as to this letter of intent business. I've been reading old threads about it but one thing I can't seem to ascertain is exactly how soon in the process I should begin to think about it. I know most people send them post-waitlisting, but since I am a longshot with my stats (34Q, 3.0 cGPA/3.2 sGPA, 4.0 postbacc, stellar ECs/LORs--everything's great but those frosh-junior undergrad grades ) I likely won't even get waitlisted at most places. Certainly not MD, but I'm applying broadly MD and DO. Anyway, would sending LOIs pre-waitlist help my chances?
