Hi guys,
I'm having trouble drawing a line in what sounds like an LOI vs STRONG letter of interest.

If I said something along the lines of
"The [insert med school] remains my first choice, and I would be thrilled to attend."

Does this sound like a letter of intent? this is supposed to be a strong letter of interest, but obviously schools want to be people's first choice. is it okay to say its my first choice? it might be, but i need to look closely at financials if i get off the WL.
thanks for the advice!! :)
