Waitlist Questions

<p>1) I decided to stay on the waitlist at Dartmouth. They said that I can send them email updates, but I was considering writing and mailing a LOCI (letter of continued interest). Is it bad to send via snail mail when they said I could email?</p>

<p>2) I am forsure emailing the officer that reads my region. I was thinking about telling them my interest in deferring enrollment for a year, if accepted off the waitlist. Is this a bad idea?</p>
