I was wait-listed at my top choice. After getting the email I sent them back a short email saying I would like to be placed on the wait list. After that I haven’t heard anything, they said they would contact wait-listers in late March. Should I send LOCI now or wait to be contacted? Also if someone could give me a description of what a LOCI usually looks like, how long it should be, and what topics to cover in it, I would greatly appreciate it. Also does anyone know if visiting a school may have any affect on their decision? Any help would be much appreciated.
How long ago did you request to be placed on the WL? If it has been over a month, I suggest sending in a LOCI.
There is a low probability of it helping but the general consensus is that it would not hurt unless you somehow managed to leave an extremely negative impression of yourself during a visit.
I was waitlisted at one of my top choices and sent back the form the mailed me asking t place me on the waitlist. I still havent heard back from them but i sent an LOCI like 2 weeks ago. Search on here for LOCI. theres a really good thread on them somewhere. I used it to help me write mine.
