Wow, so HR blocked my previous boss from writing me a letter. I'm at the end of my rope for a fellowship and/or admission to a higher ranking school because of this. Gotta love professional life...
I was also placed on hold at one of the schools I applied to, but in my case there is no additional information or new score for them to wait for. I'm going to submit a letter of continued interest.
When you submit a letter of continued interest, do you just email them letting them know that you are still interested in their school? Do you include the reasons you are interested in their school or any other information? @allergic
