Sent LOCI before wait list, now what? Forum

[risktaker]

So I sent in a LOCI to two schools that I did not hear from in ages. A week or so later, I ended up getting wait listed. I already said everything I wanted to about why I want to attend the two schools. What do I do now? Should I send another LOCI with very very very specific things about why I like each school or just don't do anything? I already sent an updated resume with new info. All responses would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

bump. Please, any sort of advice would be appreciated.

Send another one immediately. Consider picking one and going balls-to-the-wall for it, saying straight up if they accept you you'll absolutely go no matter what (if you would)-- this might up your chances if they are sure you're a sure thing.

Alright, so the thing is that I already went balls to the wall for one of the WL schools. The two schools that I mentioned here are not my #1 choices. Should I still send another LOCI? Would it be that awful to say that you would attend if accepted and then you don't end up accepting the offer when they admit you?

IMO I would not say I would definitely attend if accepted and then NOT attend if accepted, but I think you'll find pepole with different views on that...but my take is that you should only do that balls-to-the-wall move with one school that is actually your top choice.

Thanks for the help. So does that mean I should not bother to send another LOCI to the other two wait list schools?

No, for sure still send them, just express your great continued interest etc.
