<p>I was just wondering if it is o.k. to submit a letter of recommendation from your headmaster or principal in addition to the teacher recommendations. If so, how would one go about properly sending the letter? Just in a sealer & signed envelope? Thank you.</p>
<p>JHU only requires applicants to submit two letters of recommendation - one from a teacher and one from your guidance counselor. You may submit additional letters of recommendation (max = 5 please!!!), and these supplemental letters can include letters from anyone. You may have additional letters of recommendation sent along with your high school transcript and school report, or sent separately. If sent separately then make sure your full name, birth date, and high school are included.</p>
<p>Daniel, about how many of your students submit 2 letters of rec from a teacher and then one from their guidance counselor? How many submit more? How many less?</p>
<p>We do not track the number of recommendations each applicant submits with their application, so there is no way I can officially answer that question. I can let you know from personal experience most applications submit 3 or 4 letters.</p>
<p>If we are submitting the Common App, and decide to submit an extra letter of rec, do we use the Common form, or JHU's form?</p>
<p>You are allowed to mix rec forms</p>
<p>Any form you would like... no requirement there and yes you can mix forms.</p>
<p>Thanks Daniel! </p>
<p>One more question: Do you think that extra letter of recomendation will better give a representation of the applicant?</p>
<p>It all depends. Additional letters of recommendation should represent different information about you that is not included in your application already. If a recommendation will present a different side of your character, your abilities, your interests, etc. then you should consider including it. Don't just include extra letters of rec. that will add nothing to your file.</p>
<p>admissions daniel,
to make paperwork lighter i asked some of my supervisors to send recs to my counselor instead of JHU and also because i believe that the entire rec is not important. there are probably just parts that are.
i asked my counselor to quote the recs and told her of the situation.</p>
<p>do you think adcoms would look down upon this act?
would they think hat i was trying to hide something?</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>I'm not really sure what you mean by "supervisors" and not including the entire recommendation" ??? </p>
<p>You are required to have one full recommendation from your guidance counselor and one full recommendation from a teacher. If in addition to your one teacher rec., your counselor quotes some of your other teachers in the counselor recommendation then that is not a problem.</p>
<p>Sorry if i was unclear
I mean't internship supervisors</p>
<p>I wrote a short personal statement as an addendum to my other two essays. May I turn it in along with my other essays? Or should I limit my essays to two as required by JHU application? (I am not using common app.) I think the addendum will reflect some of my qualities that are not shown through my other essays.</p>
<p>is there a part one for JHU? If we use the common app thing and teacher sends the rec before i send the common app, how will the teacher rec by common app get to JHU and connect with my app? I dont know, my teacher wants to make sure we have done a part one to get the Admission ID thing so it can be traced. so im not sure how comman app works</p>
<p>irap3pillows: you can have your internship supervisors present their recommendations in any format that you want, since they are supplemental. You can have the separate letters or sent, or have your counselor quote the letters - it is your choice.</p>
<p>byungjpark: Personal statements are not required but if you would like you may include one with your application. Your choice.</p>
<p>madamebovary: When applying with a JHU application there is a Part I and Part II. If you use the Common Application then you need to submit the Common Application and the JHU supplement. Please do not mix and match these applications. There is no ID tracking - we track application materials by applicant's name, birth date, and high school, so you should include that information on everything you submit.</p>
