I was deferred from Tulane and I’m going to send them a letter of continued interest. Should I send it via email or mail? Also does anyone have any advice on any specifics that I should include in my letter?
Thanks!

I think regular mail is more personal, and hand-written even better. But only if your handwriting is fairly good.
As far as specifics, just be yourself. If there is something new to tell them, include it. If things are pretty much the same as a month or so ago, tell them that too. Be honest that you just want them to know that Tulane really is your #X choice and that you didn’t want to just sit and do nothing when this is so important to you. Something like that.
For writing a letter of continued interest, should we send the letters to the admissions office’s address?
Yes, with attention to your specific admissions person
DD2, who was deferred then admitted, wrote a nice email expressing interest to her admissions rep. I really think that is what tipped them to admit her. Personally, I’d recommend an email. Much easier for an admission rep to forward to other team members, if they reply, you know they read and received it.
@fallenchemist @Bigmacattack Thanks for the advice. Congrats to your daughter being admitted! When did she find out?
DD2 was deferred in December, expressed continued interest in an email, than was admitted mid-January. Her stats put her in the top 25% of admitted students, she had visited twice, and her sister goes there, so we were surprised by her initial deferral. I think they didn’t have a good sense of her level of interest, since her visit was a Junior was with her big sister, and then her other visit was a non-official tour, visiting her sister.
