A letter of continued interest is a letter sent to a school to which you have already applied.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After submitting so much information about yourself earlier in the application process, you might be at a loss regarding what to include in a LOCI. In this post, we at Stratus share how to submit a successful LOCI.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>In What Situations Should I Write a Letter of Continued Interest?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>If you are waitlisted:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Applicants typically write LOCIs when they have been waitlisted. If you are waitlisted, it usually means the school sees something promising about you but is not quite settled on accepting you. Therefore, if you are waitlisted, you should almost always write a LOCI. The only time you should not is if the school explicitly says not to. If this is the case, the school will likely say so in the email and\/or status update that you received informing you about being waitlisted.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>If you are not accepted via early decision:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Alternatively, you should write a LOCI if you apply early decision and then are placed in the regular decision pool. This is similar to being waitlisted, as the school did not outright reject you but has not accepted you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>When Should I NOT Write a Letter of Continued Interest?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>If a school does not respond as quickly as other schools:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some applicants also submit a LOCI if it has been a while since they have heard from a school. For example, if someone applies to several schools in September and receives decisions from all schools but one in January and February, they might be tempted to submit a LOCI to the one school that has not responded. Generally, this is not a good idea unless the school indicates that it wants to receive updates from applicants.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>If your application is put on hold:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Similarly, applicants sometimes receive an update from a school saying that their application is \u201con hold.\u201d This usually means that the school is taking longer than expected but does not want you to lose interest. Again, it is not a good idea to submit a LOCI in this situation unless the school says otherwise.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should avoid submitting a LOCI in these two situations because the admissions staff are likely already overwhelmed and do not want to receive any unnecessary communications. Although submitting one probably won\u2019t be fatal to your application, you do not want to ruffle any feathers or waste time writing a letter that will not help you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Does a Letter of Continued Interest Help My Candidacy?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>It demonstrates your interest in the school.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Given all of the information you\u2019ve already submitted in your application, you might think it is pointless to submit a LOCI. However, a solid LOCI could be the difference between an acceptance and a rejection.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes applicants are waitlisted to help protect a school\u2019s yield rate, which is the percentage of people admitted to a school who ultimately enroll there. Because many applicants have \u201csafety\u201d schools, a school might not admit someone who they feel is unlikely to actually be interested in attending. So, if a school is unsure of your interest, it might place you on the waitlist. In this situation, a LOCI can help demonstrate that you are genuinely interested in attending that school. In contrast, not submitting a LOCI might lead the school to believe you are not truly interested.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Should My Letter of Continued Interest Include?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>\u201cThank you\u201d:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> First, be gracious and thank the school for its continued interest in you. This can consist of a sentence or two saying that you appreciate the school\u2019s consideration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Why you are interested:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Next, you should express your continued interest in attending the school. If the school is your top choice, say so. If it is not, say that you are very interested in attending. In both of these situations, you should share the reasons why you are interested. Although you might have covered some of these details in your application, focusing on your interest can help you seem more genuine. If you visited the campus and\/or attended an info session, and doing so increased your interest in the school, mention that here as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your fit for the school:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After outlining your reasons for wanting to attend, explain why you feel you are a strong fit for the school. If the school has a strong commitment to criminal law and you want to be a criminal lawyer, you should discuss that. If you appreciate the school\u2019s values, you could share that and explain why. However, do not go overboard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Academic, personal, and career updates:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You should also include any updates. For example, if you have new undergraduate grades and\/or test scores, be sure to mention them. Although the school will receive those updates anyway, including them in your LOCI helps magnify any new accomplishments. Finally, if you have any personal or career updates to share, such as academic awards or work accomplishments, you should mention those.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What Should I NOT Include in My Letter of Continued Interest?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Decision time frame:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do not ask when you will receive a school\u2019s decision. Schools will not answer this question, and they might take offense.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Other law schools:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Also, do not mention other law school acceptances you have received. A school does not want to hear about your interest in other schools.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>When Should I Send the Letter?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Within a week of getting waitlisted:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You should send a LOCI no more than a week after learning that you were waitlisted. If you need a little more time, that is okay, as you want to be sure to submit a solid letter. However, some applicants make the mistake of waiting until more than a month later to send a LOCI. During this time, the school could make a decision. Plus, sending one relatively quickly makes you seem more genuinely interested.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>How Many Letters Should I Send?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Only one\u2026<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Given how long it can take to receive a final decision, you might be tempted to send multiple LOCIs to a school. However, most of the time, this will be a bad idea. Once you send your first letter, do not send another one until you receive a status update.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>\u2026unless you remain on the waitlist:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you receive an update that either admits or rejects you, then obviously you should not send another letter. But sometimes a school will send an update saying it is continuing to keep you on the waitlist. Every time this happens, you should send another LOCI. It may get repetitive, and that is okay as long as you do not send literally the same letter. In this scenario, it is important to keep sending LOCIs because the later it gets in the cycle, the more it becomes about a school\u2019s yield rate. If an applicant gets off the waitlist in the summer and into a school they were interested in, they still might not accept because of financial concerns, for example. Law schools will want to avoid as many rejections as possible, so reaffirming your interest in attending is crucial.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although being waitlisted or having your decision deferred is not fun, it is better than being rejected. Many applicants go on to thrive at a school that had waitlisted them. If you are still interested in a school, you should do what you can to strengthen your candidacy, and submitting a strong LOCI is one of the best ways to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One component that often comes up late in the law school application process is a letter of continued interest (LOCI).
