<p>I was deferred, and want to know what I can do know. I was thinking of just writing a letter to MIT saying that I still really want to go there, and just kind of speak from the heart. Is this acceptable? If so, I will write today, mail tomorrow.</p>
<p>I wrote a letter telling them what I had been doing since applying EA and letting them know that I still was very interested in attending. I also sent another recommendation from a teacher who got to know me really well during senior year. I think one or both did help me. I'm assuming that both of these are still acceptable as long as they aren't obnoxiously long.</p>
