<p>I was waitlisted, and I'm looking to send out my letter of continued interest. Should I snail mail it to the admissions department? Or is there a certain email address that it should be sent to?</p>
<p>Did you just find out today?! I don’t know how Harvard works specifically but we had to confirm acceptance of a waitlist position by a certain date…I would have thought that should have been done some time ago…hopefully someone more connected with Harvard can answer you or perhaps you should call- asap…</p>
<p>Too late kiddo</p>
<p>^^ don’t know who that is, above. I would email NOW – Harvard is granting a bit of a window bc of the events of the past few weeks. I will assume that you have responded that you want to remain on the wait list when you were offered it a month ago…if not, then, you are in a huge hole. If you have then get the letter off now-- the Committee hasn’t started seriously looking at the WL until they have a yield and the fact that a letter discussing your interest and other new items for their consideration omes on May 1 not April 20 isn’t going to be dispositive.</p>
<p>But no more delays.</p>
<p>I am making a distinction between accepting a place on the wait list and the letter that is discussed on Wait List thread that goes into more depth about how much you want Harvard–why in particular, what you bring to Harvard (but don’t repeat what is in your application) and any new information since your application was filed…</p>
<p>if you HAVEN’T accepted the WL until now-- as I have just written-- you have a huge hole and better have a great excuse why you have held off until now–and even then you are most likely way too late…</p>
<p>I accepted my spot a long time ago. I’m mostly just confused what email address I should send my letter of interest to. Is the general admissions email address acceptable?</p>
<p>I would FAX your letter of interest. Harvard’s fax number is 617-495-8821. Paper spewing out of a fax machine builds up fast, so faxes tend to get looked at first. Whereas an email might sit there for days before being opened. If you want to send an email, the general email address is the one to use.</p>
