I am applying to Stanford and submitting an optional piano supplement. Of course, my piano teacher will write the recommendation for this. However, I have also assigned him as an “other” (optional) Common App recommender. Should I remove him from the optional “other” recommender, or is it okay if the letters are the same?
You sound as if there should be a LOR specifically for the arts supplement. Your piano teacher’s is an optional, “other” LOR to go with your high school teachers’ LORs. Don’t send in duplicates. Unless they’ve changed the requirements since the last time I looked at it two years ago… which I highly doubt.
There is. When submitting the arts supplement, it says that a letter of recommendation from an arts teacher or specialist is required to submit with the arts supplement.
That was my incination; they’re going to be receiving the letter once anyway, so I shouldn’t send it in twice.
