<p>I'd like some feedback on my "strategy" (so to speak) for pursuing a wait list. I wrote a very good letter, and I also published in a scientific journal since my app was submitted. Specifically for the letter, when would be the best time to send it?</p>
<p>On one hand, I think it might be better to wait until around May 5 so that it is fresh in their heads when they start reviewing for the wait list. However, I'm not sure whether it isn't just better to send as soon as possible.</p>
<p>1) When is the best time to send my letter/updates</p>
<p>2) Also, is an extra rec traditionally something one should do or it doesn't matter much?</p>
