Writing a Letter?

If I were to write some sort of letter to a college at this point saying how interested I am in going there, could this carry any weight? Thanks.

Not at this point- pretty much all decisions have been finalized. If you are waitlisted somewhere, you can write a LOCI.

I thought colleges often decide on applicants until the last week or so. Maybe I’m wrong.

They might still be deciding on a few, but you can’t know whether they have already decided on your app or not. I doubt a letter now would do anything.

some schools have released decisions already, whereas others are preparing to. the process is pretty much over.

I would suggest writing a letter if you get waitlisted. Most freshmen application decisions are being made now if they are not already made.

^Yes, if you get waitlisted at a school you really want to go to, you should DEFINITELY send a letter of continued interest. There are a lot of tips on this site for doing that.

Thank you all for the advice.
