Getting waitlisted isn't a rejection — but it requires action. A well-crafted Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI) can move you from waitlisted to admitted. IvyScore writes a custom draft based on your actual profile and updates since your application.
Dear Dean of Admissions, I am writing to reaffirm my strong interest in Cornell University's College of Engineering following my placement on the waitlist. Cornell remains my first choice, and I wanted to share meaningful updates since my application. This semester I led my robotics team to a regional championship — our first in six years — and published a paper in my school's undergraduate research journal on sustainable battery chemistry. I've also accepted an offer to intern at a local clean energy startup this summer, work directly aligned with Cornell's emphasis on applied engineering for social good. My interest in Cornell specifically has only deepened. After attending the virtual Engineering Open House and speaking with Professor Chen about her materials science lab, I'm more convinced than ever that Cornell is where I want to do this work. I understand that waitlist spots are limited and I respect whatever decision you make. I simply wanted you to know that if offered a place in the Class of 2029, I will enrol without hesitation. Thank you sincerely for your continued consideration.
