Letter of Continued Interest?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

<p>I was planning on writing a LOCI for Boston College until I stumbled upon this:</p>

<p>“Students are not encouraged to send additional letters of recommendation or make calls to the institution to check on their waiting list status.” </p>

<p><a href=“http://www.bc.edu/admission/undergrad/process/tips/s-waitinglist.html[/url]”>http://www.bc.edu/admission/undergrad/process/tips/s-waitinglist.html</a></p>

<p>Would it be appropriate to still send in a brief LOCI? What have previous waitlisters done to increase their chances of being accepted? Tips and advice would be appreciated. </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>At this point, the most important steps to take are:</p>

<p>1: Send a brief one page LOCI from you. Include any relevant new information about your status. Do not include new letters of recommendations or reiterate information that is already in your application.</p>

<p>2: Focus on your “plan B” school. The odds of getting off a wait-list are very low and the factors are nothing you have any control over.</p>

<p>Definitely send a LOCI, address it to the Rep who signed your decision letter; include any new senior awards Any updated test scores?. Mail it quickly, since some schools start going to the WL the first week in May.</p>
