Hi! I got deferred from a lot of schools actually and I was wondering how I used write my letter.
Some schools include a form on their portal. Should I write there as well as email it to admissions officers or just fill out the form. Also, can someone send a sample one maybe? How would you start it off, what are some things to include, etc
Thanks!
Thank you!
I used Ivy assistant to create a sample for you:

Please, please, please tailor this to YOUR situation and make sure you don't just copy it. I don't know if LOC's are checked for plagiarism so be careful! Another tip: NEVER write about why you think they rejected you, but why they SHOULD accept you. Again, no bragging but honest facts.
Hope this helps and that you will be accepted!
