<p>I’ve applied to a number of schools for MA in Public Policy/IR. I was accepted early to Fletcher, but I feel that the Kennedy School is my top choice. Now that all of my application materials are in, is there anything else I can do to boost my chances? It seems like sending a note to the Admissions Office which says “hey, just so you now, you are my top choice” won’t be very effective. </p>
<p>I’ve thought of a number of other options, including:</p>
<p>-Asking an alumni who knows me well to write a note on my behalf and send it to admissions
-Contacting a professor whose interests correspond with mine (I’m not sure exactly what I would say in this case)
-Visiting the School (I could stop by the admissions office and hopefully they would record that I had been there)</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have any thoughts on these ideas or any other options?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
