Guest Lorae Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 On SDN there is always a lot of talk about writing (post interview) binding letters of intent (stating if accepted you *will* attend their school) versus non-binding letters of interest. Is this an issue because of the nature of rolling admissions? Is this an American thing or is this something that Canadian applicants can/should do as well?? I was planning on sending thank-you cards to all the schools that I interview at... but would it be wise to use more "forceful" wording to the school(s) at the top of my list?? Thanks for any opinions and advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kirsteen Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi there Lorae, Although it is a thoughtful gesture to send thank you notes to your Canadian medical school interviewers, I highly doubt that the wording of them would have any effect on your chances of admission. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lorae Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I agree... and might go so far as to say "nor should they" but what is it all about in the US then? Is their admissions process *that* different than ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aneliz Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I have never heard of the 'binding letters of intent' concept...and for UWO, any correspondence that you send post-interview (thank you card, letter of intent, cheque for a million dollars, etc) will have ZERO effect on your chances of admission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lorae Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 They talk about them on SDN alot. Apparently if you send a letter of intent to more then 1 school they can revoke your offer. Mind you, these are pre-meds who are posting this (and SDN is significantly more troll-laden than this forum :b ) so this information could be way off.
