Should I submit a letter of continued interest while on the wait list?

Hi guys!

First off congrats to those who have gotten in! Unfortunately I was put on the waitlist and had a question about what to send in. In the letter they specifically say “While the submission of additional materials is not encouraged, any academic information not previously submitted is welcome.”. Yet I’ve seen people here recommend sending in letters of continued interest. Would NU even look at those kinds of letters or are we just bogging down the system?

Sending in a genuine letter of interest is always preferrable to not doing anything at all.

@northwesterndad Thanks! I;ll be sure to do that
