<p>Yeah I'm indian...hence the name "Parikh" - I think I'm going to send it in...good idea</p>
<p>it just personalizes your application more, and they like it because they dont have to think of you as "applicant 11,572" ....... similarly at Duke there is an optional parent letter of recomendation</p>
