<p>so im just starting to write my letter of interest. i know it seems like i procrastinated a lot, but i didn't want to send it in too early then i just had so much to do between march 19th until now. so to those of you who sent in a letter of interest, how long were yours? did you guys just adress it to your admissions counselor? i know what i want to write about, but are there anything i really should include in my letter (other than my most recent accomplishments and updated grades)? thanks in advance guys :)</p>
<p>anyone?
also, did you guys email this letter? or send in a snail mail?</p>
<p>I’d really like to get an answer to this too =P. I’m glad I’m not the only one who decided to send the letter later (maybe they’ll look at the letter the same time they review my file rather than reading it and forgetting about it). I’m working on my letter now, but will probably send it tomorrow or tuesday… I tried to email my counselor about whether to send it via snail mail or a letter, but she’s apparently out of office until the 30th )= </p>
<p>I just wrote mine about how after visiting all my colleges and much deliberation, I still feel that Chicago is my first choice…I made sure not to “put down” any of my other schools too much, obviously. I didn’t have any notable achievements or improvement in grades to speak of, so I didn’t include any. On the uncommon blog, it said the letter should be short, about a page (although I have no idea if they mean double or single spaced. UGH. XDD).</p>
<p>Don’t know if this is helpful, but at least you know you’re not the only one working on your letter :)</p>
<p>@lyc0r1s: hahah its a good feeling knowing im not alone! haha but i sent mine in this morning. mine was a page single-spaced. i didnt want my letter getting lost in the midst of all her other emails so i sent her a letter via regular mail. hopefully it makes it in time!</p>
<p>bringing this thread back! but i just read my letter and found few minor grammatical errors, and left out a word from what i was trying to say… am i completely screwed?</p>
<p>also, i think i sort of contradicted myself in the letter from my original supplmental essay.
in the supp essay, i said at first, i wasnt considering uchicago until the school kept sending me mails and emails about how i should apply. however, in the interest letter, i said how uchicago has always been of a motivation for me [it has been since i became more aware of the school, but i excluded this part], and how uchicago has ALWAYS (key word!) been my dream school. uchicago IS a dream school for me now. my top choices were upenn and uchicago. now that i have been flat out rejected by upenn, uchicago is what im holding on to. did i completely screw myself up? im planning to write another letter. should i reiterate myself? how should i approach this second letter?</p>
<p>Chill man, I know some people who like put the name of the wrong school (among other mistakes) who STILL got accepted to top universities. I dont even remember what I wrote in my original supplement essay - hopefully I didnt contradict myself in my waitlist letter. :)</p>
<p>hahah that definitely makes me feel better. but yikes, cant believe i did that =(</p>
