<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p>I sent in an extra letter to my first-choice school telling them about a letter of recommendation I wrote for my guidance counselor for a statewide award (and how he just won it!).</p>
<p>Now, I just found out my gpa bumped me from salutatorian to valedictorian. Is it worth sending another letter? Or was one enough/too many?</p>
<p>I don't want to be seen as a stalker-applicant. :(</p>
<p>As I have told numerous other applicants who ask such a question. Will the fact that you are 1 instead of 2 benefit the community of arts, academics, or athletics of that school in anyway that you are Valedictorian rather than Salutatorian. </p>
<p>It will not harm you but at this point I would highly doubt it would help them or you. Most likely the school (especially if private) has already decided whether they want you or not.</p>
<p>You're probably right. Maybe I should just take a backseat and let the admissions process actually happen.</p>
<p>Thanks.... :P</p>
<p>No problem. Go ahead and send it if you want. That is just my thought.</p>
<p>i don't even understand why it was worth it to tell a school how you wrote a letter of recommendation for a counselor and he won a statewide award. It's not an award for you is it? Does writing good recs make you a better student? </p>
<p>I think writing about sal to val is important though.</p>
<p>I read somewhere that an adcom said, "the thicker the file, the thicker the student"</p>
<p>Yes, I think I posted that in one of my posts soon after speaking with a Princeton guy. That is exaggerated but true.</p>
<p>IMO it’s not worth it to send another letter.
Plus won’t your Mid-Year Report have documented this change anyway?</p>
<p>It’s always the same song: if you feel it’s vital to your application then send it.</p>
