<p>Gracilisae, it seems to me that you're going a little overboard. You shouldn't send them two more recommendations when you already have four. How did you have four recs anyway? Don't they only allow 2 teachers recs and 1 optional? They're definately not going to read all that. It's about quality, not quantity. Just write a sincere letter yourself to the adcom, and I like the portfolio idea. Don't send too many recommendations. Six letters is ridiculous.</p>
