Sending LOCIs to multiple schools
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:56 am
Wanted to get opinions on this.
If I am equally interested in attending 2-3 schools, and I am either waitlisted or it has been a long time since my app has been complete/gone under review, is it bad to write LOCIs to these various schools stating my strong desire to attend? In the letters I intend to state why the school is a great fit and what I could bring to that school. I thought about additionally stating that I would gladly put down a seat deposit if admitted, but I feel this is bad form to write to 2-3 different schools. These are all reach schools, so I don't know the chance of actually being offered a seat, but still...opinions on what to do?
Just send one letter to my single top choice, or is it ok to send letters to several schools?
