<p>I'm a bit confused about Stanford's additional letter of recommendation. On the admissions website, it says that Stanford lets you submit an additional rec letter from someone (not a teacher) who knows you well. I'd like to have my coach write one, but I am unsure how I fit this into the rest of my application. Neither the common app nor the Stanford supplement seem to have a place for it. On the Stanford website, all it says be sure to put the applicant's name on the rec letter. Anyone know anything about this?</p>
<p>I have the same problem.
does anybody know how to send additional letters of rec. to Stanford?</p>
<p>I gave my coach’s letter to my counselor and she’s going to mail it out (along with my transcript and such) for me. My coach wrote a generic one, though I did print out the commonapp teacher rec form and gave it to him as a reference.</p>
<p>Just give the outside recommender a pre-addressed envelope for them to mail in their letter. Ask them to include your SS# (in addition to your name) so it gets into the correct file.</p>
<p>thanks guys!
so I’m not required to use the teacher evaluation form (CommonApp’s one) for the additional letter.
also how can i let the University know that the person writing the letter, is a prominent figure (a scholar, etc.)</p>
<p>by the way, what’s SS#?</p>
<p>SS# is a Social Security Number. And the writer should identify who they are and why their recommendation should carry any weight as part of the letter.</p>
<p>so there is no need for the fancy teacher evaluation form (Common App)? the writer will just identify himself in the letter?</p>
