<p>After submitting my application, is it okay to email a letter of continued interest to let the college know that I am interested in them and that they are my first choice? If so, will this help and what should be included in the email?</p>
<p>That’s usually something you only do if you were deferred from EA/ED. You can, however, send them an email to update them if you receive a new award or there’s otherwise relevant new information for your application. In such an email, you could tell them that they’re your first choice.</p>
