✉️Letter of Continued Interest Guide

Deferred or waitlisted at your dream school? Don't worry. There's still a chance to upgrade your application. Follow our LoCI guide & message us to view a successful sample letter from our past student.

1. Make sure the school accepts letters of interest (some explicitly say that they do not accept additional materials). See if they accept via email or portal. (some have specific prompts and word count). It should generally be 1 page long otherwise.

2. Thank the admissions officer for reevaluating your application and reaffirm that the school is the best fit & your first choice. State that you would absolutely attend if admitted. You can mention any great impression of the school you have. You can add a figurative hook.

3. Provide new information such as updates on extracurricular activities, any awards won, projects you’ve begun, or improved GPA or standardized test scores (if applicable). If you don’t have any updates since the submission, still try your best to expand & elaborate on your current activities.

4. Explain 2-3 “Why College” traits: location, exclusive factors, compatibility (e.g. the interdisciplinary nature of your curriculum perfectly aligns with my interests…). Include any personal experiences or impression of the school: campus visit, online info session, alumni testimonials.

5. List up programs and activities you want to pursue at college, including major curriculum, study abroad programs, and student clubs. you can have repetitive info from your original app, but make sure it’s more detailed.

6. Plans for the next 6-9 months before going into college (e.g continue to build my startup by… so I can refine my skills / prep myself for college). You may mention larger career goals (e.g. leading up to pursuing my goal of becoming a changemaker in the engineering field).

7. You may also add a witty, eye-catching ending tied to your intro or hook. Thank the reader again and sign off.

🎊Paschar Essay E-Book Out Now!

🔎 We’re launching the official English E-book edition of Paschar Consulting’s groundbreaking Essay Book, “Asian Roots to Ivy Success: Ivy League & Top 10 US College Admitted Essays”!

👩‍🏫 This book is written by the mentors at Paschar Consulting and showcases essays that secured admission to Ivy League schools and 10 top-tier US colleges.

📖 Although this collection is specifically curated for Asian students, it does not solely focus on Asian culture. Rather than centering only on cultural identity, it highlights that many successful essays do not necessarily revolve around culture at all.

✍🏻 A compelling personal statement brings pivotal life moments to life, much like a vivid novel. The essays featured in this book go beyond mere college applications — they serve as autobiographical narratives that encapsulate each writer’s unique journey and essence.

📖 파스찰 컨설팅의 미국 대학 합격 에세이 길잡이, “한국에서 아이비리그 입학을 위한, 미국 명문 대학 합격 에세이 모음집”을 소개합니다.

📕 이 책은 파스찰 컨설팅의 멘토진이 직접 작성하여, 아이비리그와 미국 상위권 10개 대학에 합격한 에세이들을 선보입니다.

📝 이 모음집은 특히 한국 학생들을 위해 제작되었지만, 한국의 문화에 대해서만 이야기하지 않습니다. 문화적 정체성에만 초점을 맞추지 않았고, 그 얘기는 본인의 정체성을 에세이에 담을 때 ‘문화’에 아예 포커스를 두지 않은 케이스들도 많다는 점을 선사합니다.

🎓 훌륭한 자소서는 인생의 중요한 순간들을 소설처럼 생생하게 풀어냅니다. 이 모음집에 실린 에세이들은 단순한 대학 원서를 넘어, 각자의 독특한 여정과 본질을 담아낸 전기적 서사로 다가옵니다.

👩🏻‍🎓 파스찰이 국내 최초로 선보이는 미국 대학 입시생 필독서, 알라딘에서 바로구매 가능합니다.
