<p>Right now I have one letter of recommendation from a teacher and have confirmed a second letter writer for a second letter. For the first letter, I know it is a great letter because the teacher showed it to me. For two of the safety schools I am applying to that I am 97% sure I will be accepted to, they only require one letter, so my question is should I send a second letter and risk that it is not as good of a letter, or should I just send the one that I know is good?</p>
<p>Send the one you know is good. Why take chances?</p>
<p>The only reason I can think of is in case the second letter is better. It could be, and the teacher has more experience writing letters of recommendation, but you never know.</p>
<p>Don’t overthink this.</p>
<p>You know the letter you have in hand is very strong.</p>
<p>You feel very confident that you will be admitted to the safeties that require only one teacher letter.</p>
<p>Leave well enough alone. What benefit would there be in sending a second letter? It’s not as if they’ll admit you twice, right?</p>
<p>That makes sense. </p>
<p>Right now I have the chance to suggest changes to the letter of recommendation. Is there anything that you recommend be included in it?</p>
