<p>Hi, I’ve been planning on writing an personal essay to Concord since it’s my first-choice. I was waitlisted. I thought I had a good essay, however some part of me just do not agree that this would be a good idea. Can someone help? I will truly appreciate that.</p>
<p>The best thing I could tell you is that when you are writing a first choice letter be brief. Tell them how you’d like to go there, but don’t go on and on you don’t want to sound pushy. Also I’d suggest looking at the wait list thread.</p>
<p>Thank you. I sent them a brief hand written card and an email.</p>
