How do letters of recommendation work?

<p>Additional letters aren’t usually very helpful. In my D2’s case she got one from an academic activity coach who was also a grad of the college she sent the letter to. </p>

<p>If you do have a situation where an extra letter makes sense (very few in my opinion), ask your school guidance counselor if they can attach to the common app for you, and how the GC should get the letter. It is not the norm for the student to read these letters.</p>
