How to Get off College Waitlists (by Writing a Letter of Continued Interest)
What is a letter of continued interest (LOCI)?
It’s basically an email you write to tell a school, “Hey, I’m still super interested!”
But you don’t necessarily have to send one to every school that wait lists you, and the requirements vary from school to school.
In this video, I’ll answer a few questions that are probably on your mind, including:
- What does a great example letter look like?
- What are some tips for writing your own letter?
- Where and to whom should I send my letter?
- And finally: Will a letter of continued interest actually help?

What happens if you get deferred, send a LOCI, and gets waitlisted again? There are really no other events that I could discuss in terms of giving new information...

In this case I would contact the admission office directly to ask about potential next steps. It will depend on the specific school at this point.

Watch this video! And make sure JHU wants a LOCI, too.
If nyu is my first choice and I’m currently waitlisted, should I send a letter of intent rather than a loci?
