I visited Wash U last spring, and I fell in love. It truly is my number one choice. I couldn't apply ED because of financial reasons. I visited last spring and had an interview. Is there anything else I can do to express my sincere interest in the school?

You should contact and keep in touch with the admissions representative from your area. Maybe also submit an additional essay expressing why Wash U is your first choice.

Thanks. Can I just send them an additional essay, even though I already sent in my app? I know the local admissions rep because he knows my cousin, who went to Wash U. My cousin actually worked in the admissions office.

Anything you send them they will add to your file, so it should be fine.

I expressed my undying devotion for the school in my cover letter.
