Made a mistake of applying to a bunch of OS schools which denied me. I have only done 1 interview in Oct and have not heard from any others. Will it hurt to send an update letter at this point to show my desire?
If I do not make it to any school this cycle, what should I do to strengthen my application next year? My main concerns are my low GPA, no research/volunteering.
