Best LOCI examples

[Anonymous]

Preparing for a private T20 ED deferral - where are the best example letters of continuing interest?

Or who is the best college counselor to hire to help with that?

Op here. I found that :

Ivywise has a pre-Mortem review before RD (separate charge for LOCI): $3750

College Essay advisors has something as well that focuses solely on LOCI.

And several counselors do a full LOCI/RD app redo - after a deferral or rejection in RD.

Any others?
I’m worried next month’s ED news may not be great and want to prepare.

Online tools to help create a shell letter.
Then personalize.

This seems excessive, but I am obviously out of touch.

This is super smart. Worst case, your student gets in and you delete the LOCI. Much easier to write in a positive frame of mind.

Just wait and see what happens…

Except that you are getting them all hyped about school before a potential rejection
What about focusing on hype re other schools while they are in a positive mood, and worst case they delete the other aps?

We are doing both.
RD apps are mostly done.

For ED that comes out before 12/15, we’ve been told to get LOCI in before winter break (bc then you can send an update in February).

LOCI should be extremely peppy, positive and focused on fit - a love letter to the school and how you uniquely match the school.

Sara H /App Nation does LOCI letter review for less than $1k.
Anyone use it last year?

Anyone get in without a LOCI? Is this really necessary?
