Supplemental Letter of Rec

Hey all, thinking about submitting a letter of rec to try to get off the waitlist at UCLA. I think it will be a really strong letter with a good chance of bumping me off the waitlist. I just want to make sure I time it right. Do you think I should send it ASAP or I was thinking wait until right before deposit deadlines, so they receive it right when spots are opening up. Thoughts? Advice?

Honestly, why wait? Seats are always being given up and you don't want to miss your chance. So wait a reasonable amount of time (maybe a week or so) and then send it. Good luck! :)
