Deferred, Letter to Admissions Counselor

<p>I read somewhere it's best to only bother your regional admissions counselor once with a letter expressing continued interest after you have been deferred, and I also read it might be best to send it in February just before the final round of decisions. Should I wait to send him a letter?</p>

<p>I think what matters (if it matters at all), is for you to express your sincere continuing interest at some point <em>before</em> the final decision is made. Because you have no idea when they will be acting on your file (could be now, could be in March), you should probably make your views known as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Thanks! Any advice on how to phrase this?</p>

<p>Nope.
As Dave Marcus correctly said: “admissions people …, usually, know an authentic 17-year-old’s voice. When adults write [for] them, frankly, they sound like adults writing … and pretending to be 17-year-old’s. It’s terrible.” </p>
