<p>hi how could i send a supplemental recommendation letter to Harvard?
Another question: i know very well an important guy at the world bank, and he has lots of things to say about me. Can i submit his letter, or it seems that i want to be recommended (in the bad sense)?</p>
<p>Letter from Important World Bank Guy: If you worked for him for a significant period, or if he taught you a class, a letter of recommendation might be in order. If he just thinks you’re a swell kid because he’s watched you grow up, it won’t help your cause.</p>
<p>The relationship between you and those that write your recommendation letters is more important than the relationship of the recommender to the rest of the world.</p>
<p>The most selective schools get extra letters up the whazoo. Won’t likely help you, but won’t hurt you either. Admissions will not give a look unless it is something out of the ordinary.</p>
<p>ok but if i want to submit one, how can i do? Can i submit it straight to the admission office? If so, what is the email? i didn’t find out. The deadline is 1st january or not?</p>
<p>Sorry about this, but if you want Harvard level, you have to be able to check some of this info for yourself. It’s right there on the web page, as is the address. If confused, call them.</p>
<p>Should students send supplementary recommendations?
While we can make careful evaluations with required recommendations, we are happy to read helpful letters from people directly familiar with applicants’ lives outside the classroom. Such letters are not necessary, however, and it is generally advisable to submit no more than two or three.</p>
<p>H is generous in that wording. But, these extra letters don’t tip candidates unless, as notjoe suggests, they can specifically refer to work with you that is relevant to the college. Not “nice kid, know his family well, went to his soccer games and he’s pretty good.” If they can’t write about your contribution to their project, class, job environment, etc, this can seem like some odd thinking on your part. Make a cautious decision.</p>
<p>I haven’t found it and sorry if i don’t want to throw away 100 dollars to call the other side of the ocean!</p>
<p>I’m assuming you are from the United Kingdom. You can submit the additional recommendations via the Common or Universal Application (online), by fax or mail. In order for the recommendation to be considered, make sure it is submitted by January 1.</p>
<p>As with making calls to the United States, you can use Gmail’s built-in feature to make unlimited calls to numbers in the U.S. and Canada.</p>
<p>And as others have pointed, only submit the additional recommendation if it reveals something about you that other parts of your application do not. Make sure it is specific about what exactly you did for him/her, how he/she knows you, etc.</p>
<p>Our son was given 4 letters that he chose not to submit, largely for the reasons stated above, and he was accepted EA. One was from a well-known senator who knew him well. Recollect how much the AdCom has to read as you make your decision.</p>
<p>I mailed a letter from someone whom I was working on a project for just yesterday! I figured it couldn’t hurt unless it was done for the reasons stated above.</p>
<p>i know this guy debating with him in a bar at a small village where i go in summer and in that occasion he exhort me to apply to world class universities.
However, i am not from uk, i am italian</p>
