Around 3 weeks after notification (before May 1 ideally) but allow time to make the updates meaningful.

When is the best time to submit an letter of continued interest if you are waitlisted? I've heard some colleges can pull off the waitlist in April, well ahead of the May 1 due date. Our college counselor is telling us to submit the letter in early May. Has anyone else heard differently?
