We now have a very good process in place for reviewing these kinds of comments and I should be more timely in responding as a result. Offers did not go out over the winter break, but rest assured that we picked up right where we left off and decisions have been going on in a consistent fashion since January 3. If you've not heard from us, it is indeed appropriate to send in a letter of continued interest. While the primary reason of this letter is to show us that you remain interested in SLS, it also shows me that you are an active and engaged participant in this process. Many applicants take the approach of "I've done my part and now I just need to wait it out" or "I've met all the application requirements and I'll just sit back and wait for SLS to do their part." Fair enough. This approach works. However, is it a bad thing to stay a bit more engaged? You just need to exercise some good judgment, though, and decide how much is enough versus becoming a pain.

If you’ve not heard from us, it is indeed appropriate to send in a letter of continued interest.

It is definitely a comforting resource in this unknown season of applications. I was interested in knowing if we should expect more acceptances to come out this week, or if things should be quiet until after the break. Secondly, I wanted to know at what point in the season you would think it appropriate to send in a Letter of Continued Interest if we applied earlier in the season, such as in September or October? Thanks again, and have a very relaxing Christmas break! Dean Deal,
