I am on the waitlist at a school and have drafted a letter with some updates, continuing interest comments, etc.

The school has asked to receive all written correspondence via email.

These might be dumb questions, but...
- What should be the subject line of the email?
- Should my letter be copied and pasted into the body of the email or be included as an attached document in true letter format (address of recipient at top, etc.)?
- If attachment is the way to go, what should I write in the body of the email?

Many thanks!

Hi

Here, you should be sharing new story with Adcom (any value added experience you have had after you interviewed with Adcom, any significant achievement which justifies admission offer).
In the body of the mail - write in 2-3 crisp sentences about "what changed in your profile" - this story should be concise and recipient should get genuninely interested in knowing further.
Thats where the word doc comes - do write your story in 200-300 words, please avoid repeating what was already shared in the application earlier.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
