first choice letter

Prep School Admissions

<p>So I'm going to write my first choice letter but I don't know who to address it to.
Do I send it to my interviewer? The Head of Admissions? The Admission's Office?</p>

<p>At the application stage of the game, I doubt sending such a letter is going to make any difference. Even the most selective schools assume 1/4 to 1/3 of the kids they admit will turn down their offer of admission and matriculate elsewhere. Some posters think a First Choice letter may help if you are Wait Listed.</p>

<p>Here is an old thread on the topic.

<p>And here’s a post from GemmaV, an AO who occasionally posts on CC:

<p>What do you write on a first choice letter? ( sorry if its a stupid question)</p>

<p>Its the very first time I’m on the admissions process… Do you think It actually makes a difference?</p>

<p>Why would they believe you any more than if you said the same thing in the interview?</p>

<p>Luckily only my first choice school actually asked me which was my first choice, but if another had asked I would probably just say I didn’t know. Not mnay people would lower their chances by saying otherwise.</p>
