<p>my dad's frosh adviser from college went on to become dean of admissions and my dad rangled me a private interview and letter of rec. how much does this help and is it even out of the ordinary?</p>

2

<p>Wait, this is a dean of admissions writing a letter to himself?</p>

3

<p>well i dont think he handles individual admissions, so i assume hed be writing it to the admissions board beneath him</p>

<p>The dean of admissions at most school puts the final stamp of approval on every accepted application.</p>

<p>as long as you have fairly acceptable stats you should be in.</p>

<p>Why would you name the college? Just for your indiscretion you should be rejected.</p>

<p>^Agree. Admissions professionals read this site. I’m sure the Haverford Director of Admissions will be delighted to have it out there that he’s assisting in getting his friend’s kids in.</p>

<p>I don’t think the letter will make a difference. It sounds like to avoid alienating a friend, the dean agreed to interview you and then write a letter to presumably himself supporting your admission. The letter seems meaningless to me as the dean probably has the final word on all admissions anyway.</p>
