<p>I really want to go to this college. Should I send a letter of continued interest, maybe saying that if accepted, I will attend?</p>
<p>Thanks for your input!</p>
<p>. . . bump</p>
<p>What college are you talking about? The top-tier schools place no interest in the student’s intentions – their ability to draw in accepted students is already very high. Lesser known schools where top applicants are rarer will do what they can to steal away their top applicants from other schools. </p>
<p>I recall you’ve applied to several Ivy league schools. An email or letter to them won’t do a single thing. </p>
<p>Stop bumping your posts too. Good luck nonetheless.</p>
<p>This can be seen as badgering the adcoms.</p>
<p>@T26E4: I’m talking about MIT. I SURELY don’t have the stats for it, but what I think I do have is the passion for knowledge, and I clearly detailed mu goals and interests in the application (BTW, I have a 1590 in SAT II and a 112 in TOEFL with a 3.8 UW GPA, my problem is the lack of international and national awards. It’s hard to have access to tournaments like IMO or Intel in Egypt. I’m sure that I’m not going to get in though.</p>
<p>@lebronfor2008mvp: thanks for your help</p>
<p>MIT is one of those schools that places no weight whatsoever on the interest level of its applicants. Only schools who are concerned about students who reject large number of their offers place some weight on grabbing good students.</p>
<p>But on collegeboard, on the MIT page Level of Applicant’s interest is considered.</p>
<p>Send a letter if you think it’s needed/ will help you, or you just would like the university to know that your interested in the school.</p>
<p>sending these letters are more for deferred ea/ed applicants i think</p>
<p>send a letter if you’re waitlisted.</p>
<p>MIT already knows you’ll attend if accepted.</p>
<p>AKDigger- do it. I’ve seen that pretty much every single deferred applicant from MIT that was accepted had sent in a letter of continued interest, so it certainly cannot hurt.</p>
