I would not put this kind of communication in an email.  It should be handwritten or typed and mailed.  Students are generally required to submit an essay which could include a paragraph on why the school is first choice.  The parents can send a separate communication, which is what we did.  Our children (twins) were admitted but no way of knowing if the letter had an impact.  I tend to think it may have shown a level of commitment but I believe the applicants' qualifications and unique qualities would weigh more and if they are a stretch, then not sure a first choice letter would matter.[/quote]

Don't write it by hand. The last thing the admissions staff wants to do at the busiest time of their year is decipher your handwriting. Don't make it long, no matter how much time you've devoted to learning every last detail about the school. They don't really want to read it. Don't send it in the mail because you want to make an impression. Send an email. Be professional and to the point.
