<p>Topic says it all.</p>
<p>Do it. I did - simply because my English recommendation (generic) sucked and I knew my third would provide an additional angle to my application.</p>
<p>i emailed my regional director (andre phillips) and he said it is a great idea to send stuff that helps them learn more about you. i am sending a video, another letter of rec. oh i hope i get in!</p>
<p>The third letter might also be written by the coach of an academic or sports team, a supervisor at your volunteer group ... doesn't have to be written by a teacher.</p>
<p>My S had a third letter from a respected source that knew him well. I believe it was quite helpful.</p>
<p>My third letter is from an alumni. :)</p>
<p>I got one from a friend and employer (ex-english teacher elsewhere). IT may have helped, I got in.</p>
<p>Although, I would recommend using alumnus or alumna in any written communication with the university.</p>
<p>If you really think the third rec says something different and important about you, send it in.</p>
<p>I was deferred EA, and I am considering sending in a 3rd rec from a Latin teacher. however, there is no rec form for language teachers. Does anyone know what I can do?</p>
<p>I would just give her the English rec and have her fill out as much as she can.</p>
<p>I gave a third rec to my 6th grade math teacher, who got me into the accelerated programs and interested in math. She's become one of my closest friends since.</p>
<p>I gave a third rec to the director of Pennsylvania Governor's School for International Studies, which I was at for 6 weeks in the summer. So she had a different angle to frame, outside my highschool.</p>
<p>is it too late now to send in another rec?</p>
<p>Not sure, but can it hurt to try?</p>
