Hello,
As the title of the post: What did you write in your letter of interest? Should it be sentimental pages of essay or 1-2 concise paragraphs? What kind of information should I mention in the email?
Thanks.

You can craft a very short note confirming that you remain very interested in the school. If you have any significant accomplishments since your application mention them briefly. And ONLY IF IT IS TRUE you can add something along the lines of “if accepted I will attend”.

Admissions officer are swamped right now, they have tons of applications to get through with tons to read. They absolutely don’t wont a long sentimental essay.

Overly sentimental but pretty short few paragraphs. Just write what you wish you said the first time around.

4

i basically reaffirmed that uchicago was my first choice, just a good sized paragraph

5

It can basically be condensed into one sentence: if you accept me, I will attend

6

My letter was two paragraphs; the first paragraph reaffirmed my interest in Chicago and the second one updated them about my recent accomplishments. It was only about a page single-spaced.
