<p>What should I put in my update letter to Harvard (post-deferral)? Should I include a letter of interest basically explaining why I want to go there? I have one written and the H guy I talked to said it needs to be there by Tuesday, so that would be rough. Also, I heard that letters of interest to H are meaningless because everyone has H as their first choice.</p>
<p>All update letters need to be there by tuesday??</p>
<p>Well....is there anything to update about?</p>
<p>Yeah I have some things like awards and stuff, but I'm asking if we should also have stuff like a letter of interest and stuff.</p>
<p>Eh, your choice. I sent one immediately after getting deferred, but that wasn't so much out of interest as to completely commit myself to attending if accepted. Probably doesn't do much but you never know when they'll doubt your committment to going there.</p>
