<p>My interest in Smith has been growing throughout the last month. When I wrote my "Why Smith" essay back in January I was not as serious about the school. I wrote a weak paragraph about why I wanted to go to the school. Now I have more specific reasons about why I really want to attend. Should I write a letter to my admissions counselor stating my new reasons and why it took me so long? or should I just forget about it and hope for the best? </p>
<p>If I do send a letter, do you have any suggestions? Would an e-mail suffice because it would be faster and it is so late in the game? I know they are still reading things because they sent a letter asking if my father wanted to give me a reccomendation and it was supposed to be out by March first. My dad didn't write the letter, but he ask me to write one and he would just sign it (which I didn't do). Could I just help my dad write a letter now, they said he could send it by e-mail and I it wouldn't look so bad if my dad was late in this and not me.</p>
<p>ANY advice would be appreciated!</p>
<p>EDIT: I forgot to mention that Smith is a match, possibly a slight reach for me, so I could be on the edge of acceptance already.</p>
