Writing to the college

<p>I have done a ton of research throughout HS so someone suggested me to write a letter to the college departments of science that I am interested in, or like a research professor at that college, expressing my interest in attending the college and telling them about my research.</p>

<p>Except I have no idea what to say. I mean, I'll definitely say I'm applying to college X and am interested in their research...but what else? Won't they wonder why I'm writing to them? Especially since I haven't even been accepted to the college yet?</p>

<p>The point is to get them to write to the admissions officers in my support, but do I explicitly tell them to do that? Or do they already know?</p>

<p>HELP PLEASE</p>

<p>anyone???</p>
