What should I include in my LOCI?

Your LOCI should consist of four main sections—gratitude, updates, reiterated interest, and a strong closing—all of which should only be one page long. First, let the admissions committee know you appreciate that they are considering your application. Share any fresh successes—better marks, leadership positions, honors, or extracurricular activities. Remind them of certain programs or opportunities that appeal to you to help reaffirm why this university is your first choice.

Finally, wrap up with gratitude and a professional closing, expressing your continued interest and willingness to provide more information. Overall, make sure to keep it concise, authentic, and focused. That way, you can make a good impression.
