<p>Now that most of the applications are in.... does anything else we do affect our chances of getting in? I'm mainly wondering about e-mailing schools.. is it good to email them, or do they just find it a bother?</p>
<p>If you had something extraordinary happen–you won a state-level competition, for example–an e-mail to your AO wouldn’t hurt. Otherwise, I’d let it be.</p>
