If you’ve been biting your nails over the status of your medical school applications, you’re in good company.
After such an intense application process, you might feel like you’re stuck in limbo when the days start dragging by with no word from the schools where you applied.
But you don’t necessarily have to sit idly by.
Update Letters are the perfect way to let a school know that they’re still at the forefront of your mind.
Still, as an unofficial component of the admissions process, there can be a lot of misunderstandings and mystery surrounding them.
In this video, we’ll review an example of an Update Letter and answer questions like:
- What’s the difference between an Update Letter, a Letter of Intent, and a Letter of Interest?
- How can you convey enthusiasm in your letters without sounding too pushy or desperate?
- How can you avoid just repeating what the adcom already knows about you?
- How do you know when to send your Update Letters?
By the end, you’ll have all you need to get to work on your own Update Letters, so you can rest assured that you’ve done everything possible to set yourself apart from the pool of other competitive applicants.
