Letter of Continued Interest
Answered

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!

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!
