This is an impressive set of accomplishments. With T20 schools, it’s always somewhat of a crapshoot because tens of thousands of similarly qualified students also apply. Sending a letter of interest is definitely the right move here and I agree with the above recommendation on that.

Were you able to communicate compellingly everything you want the admissions readers to know about you?
