<p>I was about to ask Harvey Mudd by e-mail whether they accept supplemental recommendations. How should I start it? I know it doesn't matter much, but "Dear Sir/Madam" almost sounds obnoxious while "Hey, sup?" might not fly either. Just wondering.</p>
<p>Or, if you already know, you could tell me whether or not they accept them. That'd probably be ideal.</p>
<p>I just wrote “Hey,” as the greetings to all my e-mails to admission officers. They were all little questions, so I doubt that they’d be offended and note this down in my application file and eventually use it as proof to reject me. :P</p>
<p>It…doesn’t…matter.</p>
<p>I bet they probably will take your extra recommendation, but of course, they don’t really want to read an additional one unless it sheds new light on your character/activities.</p>
<p>If you’re really that worried about this, why not just use an anonymous email account?</p>
<p>Birdhouse: thanks!
PBailey: I was just curious.</p>
