给Admissions Committee的函，比较详细的描述每份补充材料的内容及重要性，这样可以引起committee members在评审时倍加重视。

我方去函：
使用正式格式，在抬头注明自己的姓名和申请密码，方便对方查询。

        开篇说明自己的姓名和毕业院校，向招生委员会介绍自己。然后说已经得到通知说对waiting list的审核已经开始，自己非常重视。

        表达自己强烈希望入学该校，并一再确认愿意留在waiting list上等待录取。坦言自己已经收到了来自其他学校的录取，但是该校是自己申请的最好的学校，并依旧是自己的首选。

        表示自己深知该校只招最出色的学生，而自己被放在waiting list上表示自己已经具备了这样的潜力。进而说一旦被录取，自己将证明自己是一个非常出色的学生。然后引出正题：为了证明自己多么优秀，特此提供三份补充材料。

第一份：

        申请人陈述自己参加了美国数学协会举办的数学建模比赛，以及跨学科建模比赛，强调这是一次高规格的比赛，只有在数学和建模方面能力最强的学生才会被选出代表自己的大学参赛。

        接着描述自己为了这次比赛，废寝忘食的与团队成员合作挑战2012最具难度的建模难题。申请人附上了该题目和自己团队长达21页的解决方案和摘要。

        申请人表示，在比赛中体现出的强大的计量和建模能力能够帮助申请人在该校更好地学习。

第二份：

        申请人更新了自己的简历，增加了最近在一所中国领先的金融机构实习的经历，并积累了在收集宏观经济信息、研究政府经济和金融政策的影响方面的经验。申请人在简历中突出显示了该项实习，并进一步具体指出了该项实习在简历中的位置。

第三份：

        申请人提供了2封额外的推荐信，一封来自大学的导师，另一封来自之前的雇主。这两封推荐信可以就申请人在学校的学习和在另一份实习中承担的责任做出更详尽的说明。申请人提供了两位推荐人的邮箱，并请学校发送推荐邀请给他们，因为对材料的审核就快开始了。

        最后，感谢对方给自己更新申请材料的机会。并再次表达自己对于被该校录取的渴望和信心。

Dear Members of the XX Admissions Committee:

My name is Cheng Ting and I am from University of XXXX, the best institution of finance in China. As informed by XXXXX, director of Admissions & Enrollment, the XX Admissions Committee will begin reviewing the wait-list this week and I know that the most critical time has come.

First of all, I would like the XX Admissions Committee to know that I am most interested in entering your MS Finance program. That’s why I have confirmed and re-confirmed my interest to remain on the waiting list and am prepared to wait patiently for your final decision. Frankly, I have received several offers of acceptance from other universities but XX Graduate School of Business is the top university I have applied for and for this reason it remains my top priority.

I am fully aware that XX Graduate School of Business looks for the most outstanding students. The fact that I have been placed on the waiting list demonstrates that I have been considered as one of those potentially most outstanding students. As a matter of fact, I do believe that, once admitted, I will definitely prove myself a very outstanding student. To demonstrate that I am currently one of the most outstanding students on your waiting list who fully deserves your acceptance, I would like to provide three important updates which I hope will significantly strengthen my candidacy.

Update I

My participation in the American MCM (The Mathematical Contest in Modeling) and ICM (The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling) organized by leading American institutions, including the Mathematical Association of America. The contest is an international event and is world-class and hundreds of teams from universities around the world take part in the contest. Naturally, only the most outstanding students with superb quantitative skills and modeling techniques are picked for the contest, representing the university they are from.

During the contest, I worked tirelessly for three days and nights (with very limited time for sleep), together with two other team members, to work out the most challenging modeling problem for the year 20xx— “Modeling for Crime Busting”. I have attached a PDF of the origin modeling problem, which can give you a sense of the extent of the difficulty of the problem. Our team was not only required to work out the problem but also to come up with a detailed 20-page solution demonstrating the process of solving the problem. The problem solution is attached in the form of a PDF document.

The contests require an extremely high level of skill in mathematical modeling. As the quantitative and modeling skills required by the contest would be highly relevant to my future finance study, which necessarily involves advanced quantitative and modeling skills, I believe I can use this event as a useful update.

Update II

An updated Resume showing a recent new internship at a leading financial institution in China – China Development Bank—where I have been accumulating important experiences in gathering macroeconomic information and examining the impact of government policies on economic and financial performance, which can better prepare me for your program and for my future career. The updated information about his recent internship is indicated by a box, and listed as the third entry under the heading “Internship History & Development of Practical Skills”.

Update III

Two additional recommendation letters, one from one of my instructors at my university and another one from my former employer of internship—PricewaterhouseCoopers （PWC）. Those two additional recommendations can provide further information concerning my academic performance and the responsibilities I performed and the achievements I made during another internship. The email address of my instructor is xxxxxxxx@xxxx.edu.cn and of my PWC recommender is xxxx.xx@cn.xxx.com and I would appreciate if you could send my recommenders requests for their recommendation letters.

I am very glad that XX Graduate School of Business has given me this opportunity to update my application information and I would sincerely and truly appreciate your favorable consideration of my application based on my previous and current application materials that can demonstrate my legitimate candidacy for your outstanding program.

Best Regards
Cheng Ting
